    A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK and INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

    “A profound, beautiful novel.” — People * “Poignant.” —BuzzFeed * “A breathtaking story of the unimaginable prices paid for a better life.” —Esquire

    This “heartbreaking portrait of a family dealing with the realities of migration and separation” (Time) is “a sweeping love story and tragic drama [and] an authentic vision of what the American Dream looks like in a nationalistic country” (Elle).

    I often wonder if we are living the wrong life in the wrong country.

    Talia is being held at a correctional facility for adolescent girls in the forested mountains of Colombia after committing an impulsive act of violence that may or may not have been warranted. She urgently needs to get out and get back home to Bogotá, where her father and a plane ticket to the United States are waiting for her. If she misses her flight, she might also miss her chance to finally be reunited with her family.

    How this family came to occupy two different countries, two different worlds, comes into focus like twists of a kaleidoscope. We see Talia’s parents, Mauro and Elena, fall in love in a market stall as teenagers against a backdrop of civil war and social unrest. We see them leave Bogotá with their firstborn, Karina, in pursuit of safety and opportunity in the United States on a temporary visa, and we see the births of two more children, Nando and Talia, on American soil. We witness the decisions and indecisions that lead to Mauro’s deportation and the family’s splintering—the costs they’ve all been living with ever since.

    Award-winning, internationally acclaimed author Patricia Engel, herself a dual citizen and the daughter of Colombian immigrants, gives voice to all five family members as they navigate the particulars of their respective circumstances. Rich with Bogotá urban life, steeped in Andean myth, and tense with the daily reality of the undocumented in America, Infinite Country “is as much an all-American story as it is a global one” (Booklist, starred review).
    A spellbinding story of a young American abroad and a star-crossed relationship: “This is a novel to get lost in.” —The Miami Herald
     
    Lita del Cielo is the daughter of two Colombian immigrants who arrived in America with nothing and made a fortune with their Latin food empire. Now Lita has been granted one year to pursue her studies in Paris before returning to work in the family business. She moves into a crumbling Left Bank mansion known as “The House of Stars,” where the spirited but bedridden Countess Séraphine rents out rooms to young women visiting Paris to work, to study, and, unofficially, to find love.
     
    Cautious and guarded, Lita keeps a cool distance from the other girls, who seem at once boldly adult and impulsively naïve, who both intimidate and fascinate her. Then Lita meets Cato, and the contours of her world shift. Charming, enigmatic, and weak with illness, Cato is the son of a notorious right-wing politician. As Cato and Lita retreat to their own world, they soon find it difficult to keep the outside world from closing in on theirs. Ultimately Lita must decide whether to stay in France with Cato or return home to fulfill her family’s dreams for her future.
     
    From the author of Vida, a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award, It’s Not Love, It’s Just Paris is a love story, a portrait of a Paris caught between the old world and the new, and an exploration of one woman’s journey to lay claim to her own life.
     
    “Wise and accomplished . . . Beautifully written.” —The New York Times Book Review
    Ganadora del premio Dayton Literary Peace Prize.

    Una profunda y cautivadora historia sobre vidas fracturadas que encuentran consuelo y redención en la naturaleza.


    La vida de Reina Castillo se desmorona con la condena a muerte de Carlito, su hermano. Deshecha, Reina decide mudarse a los Cayos de la Florida en busca de una nueva vida y allí conoce a Nesto, un cubano amante del mar, que le descubrirá el poder reparador de la naturaleza. Juntos emprenderán un viaje hacia sus orígenes, movidos por la necesidad de reinventarse desde su nuevo lugar en el mundo.

    Con una impresionante maestría narrativa, Patricia Engel consigue construir en esta novela a un personaje lúcido y conmovedor que nos inspira a repensar temas tan urgentes como el exilio, la reconciliación y las fronteras.

    La crítica ha dicho#

    "Engel escribe con un crudo realismo que consigue elevar la existencia aparentemente mundana de sus personajes -sus fracasos y errores, sus sueños y esperanzas, sus placeres y sus penas- para convertirla en algo majestuoso. En el corazón de su historia hay un profundo sentido de la compasión".

    Lucy Scholes, New York Times Book Review

    "Las venas del océano -el tercer libro de Engel y su segunda novela-, la establece como una voz única y necesaria para las Américas [#] Un libro sobre un mundo lleno de fronteras, de violencia, de muros y prisiones, pero también un mundo en el que la deslumbrante belleza de un delfín salvaje puede darnos la fuerza para liberarnos. Una historia que se desarrolla en tres tierras separadas por profundos abismos políticos, pero unidas por el mar, por el misterioso mar, rebosante de belleza, de vida y de poder. En resumen, se trata de nuestro mundo, que como en un espejo se nos revela de nuevo".

    San Francisco Chronicle

    "Las venas del océano es una historia de reconciliación que nos demuestra que el perdón sólo es posible cuando nos perdonamos a nosotros mismos".

    Miami Herald

    "Patricia Engel logra captar de manera justa y poética el espíritu de las comunidades del Caribe al narrar la historia de un posible regreso a la vida que resuena con fuerza en cada uno de nosotros".

    Le Figaro
