;X-APPLE-RADIUS=10;X-TITLE=Administrative Offices:geo:0,0 GEO:0;0 DESCRIPTION:Join the Mount Rainier Branch Library and Prince George†™s County Office of Human Rights for our monthly book club! This month we hope you can join us as we discuss "Infinite Country" by Patricia Engel . .\nhttps://pgcmls.libnet.info/event/17008153 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
Talia is being held at a correctional facility for adolescent gi rls in the forested mountains of Colombia after committing an impulsive ac t 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 pl ane ticket to the United States are waiting for her. If she misses her fli ght\, she might also miss her chance to finally be reunited with her famil y. How this family came to occupy two different countries\, two different worlds\, comes into focus like twists of a kaleidoscope. We see Talia&rsqu o\;s parents\, Mauro and Elena\, fall in love in a market stall as teenage rs against a backdrop of civil war and social unrest. We see them leave Bo gotá\; with their firstborn\, Karina\, in pursuit of safety and oppo rtunity in the United States on a temporary visa\, and we see the births o f two more children\, Nando and Talia\, on American soil. We witness the d ecisions and indecisions that lead to Mauro&rsquo\;s deportation and the f amily&rsquo\;s splintering&mdash\;the costs they&rsquo\;ve all been living with ever since. Award-winning\, internationally acclaimed author Patrici a 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\, s teeped in Andean myth\, and tense with the daily reality of the undocument ed in America\, Infinite Country &ldquo\;is as much an all-American story as it is a global one&rdquo\; ~Booklist\, starred review.
