As moving as it is riveting, Patricia Engel’s
Infinite Country is a one-of-a-kind telling of the timeless story of migration. The era-leaping novel combines international history the Colombian Conflict, the introduction of the DREAM Act with the personal stories of a family whose bond cannot be broken by geography. A late-night dash for freedom in the opening chapter is just the start of a border-crossing relay race that spans the Western Hemisphere.
