After committing an abrupt crime and being locked away in a religious institution, she’s on the run, trying to make it home to her father in time to catch her flight to the United States. Interspersed between these chapters, we follow their youngest daughter Talia, now a teenager. Despite planning only to make some money then return to Colombia before their tourist visas expire, circumstances lead to a new choice: to stay in America and make a life there.
In the 1990s and 2000s, we get to know Mauro and Elena, from when they fell in love to when they first become parents to when the emigrated to the United States. Infinite Country follows a Colombian family divided by strict immigration laws for decades. And since a book group I’m in made it our club read this month, I made sure to pick it up right away. On February 23rd, Infinite Country - her fourth book - was released, but I got an early copy through Book of the Month at the beginning of February. However, her name stuck in my head, so when I saw she had a new novel coming out, I was excited. One book I discovered and definitely want to read is The Veins of the Ocean by Patricia Engel, but alas, it’s been sold out since I joined. Though I generally buy their new offerings, I do like to look at what books they picked for months in the past sometimes I’ll add one of those to a box. I’ve been a member of Book of the Month for about two years now.
