5 Great Reads for South America

These are the books I chose for each segment of our South American Grand Voyage. If you’re heading that way (on a ship, plane or in your armchair) I’d highly recommend these five brilliant stories. They enhanced our experience every step of the way. You can read my review on each on their own post page, but here are all the links in one convenient place. Happy literary travels.

The Sisters of Alameda Street by Lorena Hughes

A Long Petal of the Sea

by Isabel Allende

Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage

by Alfred Lansing

The Gods of Tango

by Carolina de Robertis

Don’t Stop the Carnival
