Books About Nicaragua
There are so many good books about Nicaragua. Here are a few I found. Just research them at www.amazon.com for details.
Let me first mention a couple books by a good friend and expat living in Granada. Helen Korengold is an educator and writer, and a long-term resident of Granada. She is one of the original founders of the Puedo Leer Library. Among her other works are two books which cover Nicaragua:
