My review:????
Infinite Country by Patricia Engel is the story of a family torn apart. Mauro and Elena, with their first born, Katrina, go to the US from Colombia, on a temporary visa, but they decide to stay. They go on to have 2 more children.
We meet Talia, who is held in a correctional facility for adolescent girls, and she has to get home to her father, where her plane ticket to the US is waiting for her.
This is the story of how these events have happened, and the effect on the family that it has, to be separated for years.
It’s an evocative and timely story, given the immigration issues in the US, and it shows the sacrifices that are made in order to try to survive in a country when undocumented.
Infinite Country was published on 27th May 2021 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
