Why read it?
1 author picked Among Walkers as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Anne Upczak Garcia has written a tragic, ultimately redemptive story of survival. Despite its gritty reality, Amongst Walkers deftly fictionalizes the truth of Venezuela’s humanitarian disaster resulting from internal political conflict and the subsequent economic collapse. Yet it is so beautifully and sensitively rendered that it’s hard to put down. Highly recommend!
