War by Candlelight: Stories by Daniel Alarcon

4.0

I really, really enjoyed this book. The stories, because they were so short, kept me very engaged and interested in the book. Furthermore, each story was like a puzzle to me, so I enjoyed trying to solve it and piece everything together. Aside from that, the deep, current issues the book touches on intrigued me, especially because many of them were based in Lima, Peru, and since I don't know too much about South America, it was nice to see a new perspective, hear new opinions, and just generally learn a bit more about the area. I recommend this book to anyone that likes to read (obviously) and wants a quick, engaging read that will make them more aware of issues and ways of life in other countries.
