If distinctive voice is your thing, check out this potent blend of Colombian Spanish and English. Por el amor de Dios! Francisca at 15 has immigrated to Miami with the women in her family. Her loneliness and feverish irreverence is sometimes jaded, sometimes raw with self-discovery, her story both tragic and funny, as she negotiates fanatical Christianity and her own queer coming of age. #latinx #LGBTQ

Kimberlone Ooooh I haven‘t heard of this one. Will have to check it out. My mom is a Colombian immigrant. Infinite Country is also on my TBR 3y
Lindy @Kimberlone Fiebre Tropical pairs well with Infinite Country. 👌 3y
Kimberlone @Lindy good to know! I have a copy of infinite country already, and was planning on reading it next month :) 3y
Lindy @Kimberlone I look forward to your thoughts on it. 😊 3y

Buenos días, mi reina. Immigrant criolla here reporting desde los Mayamis from our ant-infested townhouse. The broken air conditioner above the TV, the flowery couch, La Tata half-drunk directing me in this holy radionovela brought to you by Female Sadness Incorporated.
(Opening lines of Chapter Uno)
