This Beautiful Life

'The prison crisis is a problem present throughout Latin America. Often made invisible by policies that emphasize punishment and a citizenry that seeks protection from crime; in most countries prisons are places of violence. In this excellent work, Bergman and Fondevila describe the multiple dimensions of the crisis and confirm that waves of incarceration have been key factors in increasing crime and violence. An urgent and necessary book, based on unique and comparative evidence, that allows us to further discuss a key issue to reduce violence and crime in the region.' Lucía Dammert, Universidad de Santiago de Chile

&#10;Praise for A Hard Place to Leave&#10;&#10;&#8220;These probing, achingly beautiful essays form an indelible portrait of a life. Who is this woman with her many, at times contradictory, facets? She is an adventurer, journalist, wife, mother, daughter, her world set spinning by the brilliance of her mind, the tenacity of her love for her family, and the intensity of her longing to be anywhere but here. Through the very act of interrogating her own restlessness, Marcia DeSanctis provides us with a tantalizing window into a rich and singular world.&#8221; &#8212;Dani Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author of Inheritance &#8220;Marcia DeSanctis&#8217;s A Hard Place to Leave is perfumed with lush, luminous language as she sweeps us all across the globe. From Moscow to Cape Town, quiet New England to Sweden, these tender portraits grow on us like a spring garden.&#8221; &#8212;Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other Astonishments &#8220;Never has a travel memoir put the ordinary and the extraordinary in such tight and revelatory conversation. A Hard Place to Leave brims over with intelligence and human truth. More than just a recounting of a life boldly and peripatetically lived, it&#8217;s a reckoning with the passage of time, with one&#8217;s own undying urges. I knew myself better by the end of this book, thanks to the fierce honesty and perpetual questing of Marcia DeSanctis.&#8221; &#8212;Colleen Kinder, editor of Letter to a Stranger &#8220;There is such honesty and feeling on every page of Marcia DeSanctis&#8217;s book&#8212;her avowal to push past the conventional boundaries of women&#8217;s lives, her rediscovery of travel and solitude, her celebration of family, friendship, and homecoming&#8212;that I felt delightedly transported and deeply inspired.&#8221; &#8212;Jasmin Darznik, New York Times bestselling author of The Bohemians &#8220;To read this masterfully composed memoir is to better understand our beautiful, broken world, our complex tethers to home and family, and our own imperfect selves. DeSanctis is brilliantly attuned to the nuances of these subjects, and she navigates the hairpin turns between the three with breathtaking curiosity, elegance, wisdom, and generosity. The essays in A Hard Place to Leave are equal parts dark and luminous, ferocious and tender, universal and intimate&#8212;and the writing is some of the finest I&#8217;ve ever read in my whole damn life.&#8221; &#8212;Lavinia Spalding, author of Writing Away and editor of The Best Women&#8217;s Travel Writing &#8220;Mountain climbing. Love affairs. Diplomats who may be spies, or love affairs, or both. Marcia DeSanctis&#8217;s travel essays are thoughtful, stylish, and loaded with charm. It&#8217;s the kind of book that goes great with a glass of wine and a strong dose of wanderlust.&#8221; &#8212;Rosecrans Baldwin, author of Everything Now: Lessons From the City-State of Los Angeles
