Just a quick post about two recent books I have read. Infinite Country by Patricia Engel tells the story of a Colombian family which escapes poverty in their home country to the U.S.A. and in the process become undocumented migrants in the land of the free. Spanning twenty plus years it describes the precarious existence poor migrants face with the threat of deportation ever present. A great book which tells a story not often heard.
Megan Nolan's novel Acts of Desperation is the story of a young millenial woman who falls in love with the wrong man and how some people seek validation in the love of others. This book is gritty and Nolan's writing crackles on the page. I am clearly not the intended audience for this book, but it gave me an insight into a young woman's life. Recommended.
In the meantime I am ploughing through the Bob Dylan book I recently posted here. It's thoroughly enjoyable, but probably for Dylan fans only.
Until next time, peace and love.
