The Weight of All Things by Sandra Benítez

5.0

I first tried to read this book a few years ago, when I was still in grad school studying El Salvador. Maybe I was El Salvador-ed out, since I had also done my undergrad thesis on the country, but I couldn't get into it. This time, I did, and I loved it. Great story about the impact of civil war on the people caught in the middle.
