Infinite Country by Patricia Engel
4.0
Very good.
Infinite Country depicts a Colombian family occupying two different countries. As Elena and two children continue life in the United States, Mauro and the third child live in Colombia alongside Elena’s mother, Perla.
The story is one of heartbreak and resiliency and details the daily reality of undocumented individuals in the United States. Engel explores the difficulties of hard decisions. I felt for the characters who were tasked with making impossible choices: choices where no path was better and each path came with its own set of obstacles.
The writing was straightforward while overflowing with emotion and depth.
