No Stars in the Sky
No Stars in the Sky | Martha Bátiz
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
“Profoundly moving and beautifully written . . . each story is its own universe that transports the reader through the characters’ joy and pain.” — Amy Stuart The nineteen stories in No Stars in the Sky feature strong but damaged female characters in crisis. Tormented by personal conflicts and oppressive regimes that treat the female body like a trophy of war, the women in No Stars in the Sky face life-altering circumstances that either shatter or make them stronger, albeit at a very high price. True to her Latin American roots, Bátiz shines a light on the crises that concern her most: the plight of migrant children along the Mexico–U.S. border, the tragedy of the disappeared in Mexico and Argentina, and the generalized racial and domestic violence that has turned life into a constant struggle for survival. With an unflinching hand, Bátiz explores the breadth of the human condition to expose silent tragedies too often ignored.

If this collection isn‘t on the #Giller Longlist in September I will be bitterly, bitterly disappointed. #ShadowGiller

Lindy Stacked so fast! 2y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Lindy 😠I‘ve got the one you gave 5-stars to on hold. Hope to read that one soon! Today Heidi Jacobs said that MacLeod‘s was the best collection she‘s ever read so we‘ll see how many and who of the many eligible collections make the Longlist. 2y
Lindy @Penny_LiteraryHoarders I‘m pretty excited about getting to Macleod‘s too. 2y
