A New York Times Editors' Choice * One of The Washington Post's 50 Notable Works of Fiction of 2023 * One of Chicago Public Library's Favorite Books of the Year * A LitHub Best Book of 2023

From the author of Infinite Country—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.

"If you're looking for a collection that will touch your heart and make you look at your fellow humans more generously, this one's a can't-miss" (Good Housekeeping). Author Patricia Engel is "a wonder" (Lauren Groff) and these intimate and panoramic stories bring to life the liminality of regret, the vibrancy of community, and the epic deeds and quiet moments of love.
