Latin America Bookbox

With Soffitta1's 4th Bookbox (Latin America Theme), I hope to be introduced to new writers and also to share some of my favourite books with other readers. Latin America is a term which is argued over. The definition that I have gone with is any country in the Americas which speaks a Latin language or has historical connections with Latin countries. Examples include Mexico, French speaking Canada, the Chilean special territory of Easter Island and Cuba.
