From Goodreads:
The 10 short stories in The Faraway World are 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.
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.
Rapid Rating: High.
Profanity includes 13 uses of strong language, around 15 instances of moderate profanity, a couple of uses of mild language, and a few instances of the name of Deity in vain. References to sex, fairly brief sex scenes, vulgarities. References to drug use. Brief references to violence, child abuse.
