The Faraway World by Patricia Engel
5.0
The Faraway World is an anthology collection of 10 character focused short stories. The ten stories of this anthology had been previously published in various literary magazines and compiled together for the first time. The stories explore the lived experiences of the Latinx diaspora.
What I really enjoyed about this collection is how human each character is. They're filled with despair, joy, heartbreak , happiness and the mundane.
A particular stand out are the varied experiences and range of characters and stories.
As any short story collection, some stories were stronger than others. Some of them didn't quite feel finished, they abruptly ended.
