    “Book Descriptions: * A New York Times Editors’ Choice *

    From Patricia Engel, whose novel Infinite Country was a New York Times bestseller and a Reese’s Book Club pick, comes a “rich and compelling” ( The Washington Post ) collection of ten exquisite, award-winning short stories set across the Americas and linked by themes of migration, sacrifice, and moral compromise.

    Two Colombian expats meet as strangers on the rainy streets of New York City, both burdened with traumatic pasts. In Cuba, a woman discovers her deceased brother’s bones have been stolen, and the love of her life returns from Ecuador for a one-night visit. A cash-strapped couple hustles in Miami, to life-altering ends.

    The Faraway World is a collection of arresting stories from the New York Times bestselling author of Infinite Country , Patricia Engel, “a gifted storyteller whose writing shines even in the darkest corners” ( The Washington Post ). Intimate and panoramic, these stories bring to life the liminality of regret, the vibrancy of community, and the epic deeds and quiet moments of love.”
