How to Escape from a Leper Colony by Tiphanie Yanique

medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

 While these stories were not bad by any means, none of the stories really landed on me in a meaningful way. I did appreciate the themes of identity, home, and relationships, and I particularly enjoyed the stories that dealt with members of the Caribbean diaspora living abroad ("Where Tourists Don't Go" was probably my favorite of the collection).
