An incredibly powerful novel that follows Angustias Romero as she, along with her husband and newborn twins, escape from their country, which has succumbed to a plague sweeping much of the world. As they migrate north, her twins die with nowhere for her to bury her children. Angustias keeps her twins close to her and is finally able to bury her sons in Mezquite at a cemetery known as The Third Country run by Visitación Salazar. Angustias' husband cannot understand her grief, and the two separate. Angustias begs to stay in the Third Country and assists Salazar in her mission to bury all who need it. 

No Place to Bury the Dead was captivating - all of the characters within the novel feel so tangible, and all the while bringing in parallels to current crises in Latin America around migration and especially government corruption. The perspectives across the novel include Angustias, along with many of the other characters, leading to a full world that absolutely engrosses you.
