Helpful Score: 2


This is a really incredible novel set during a very disturbing period in Argentina's recent history. There are classic moments of the pathology of being an outsider. There is the history and personal stories and the fearful reality as the backdrop. It was frightening. Not a light read or good for mindless reading. But a really good book. Hard to get into at first and recommend sitting down for a few more extra pages than usual to get yourself started.
