Diana Rojas’ Litany of Saints: A Triptych is a collection of three novellas that center around the experiences of Costa Rican immigrants. Each novella displays characters who are grappling with their identities while struggling to balance the expectations and presumptions of others with their own desires. Kirkus Reviews says, “Three stories offer an intriguing look into the lives of Costa Rican characters—Ticos—as they deal with their roles in their families and society… She shows her readers that no homeland is perfect—not even ‘paradise.’”
