Shifting from Paloma in 1998 to Santiago in the 1970s, Clark’s debut novel is a compelling story of a time and place that might not be well known to American readers as well as a heartbreaking narrative of generational trauma. Recommended for all public library collections.
... vividly rendered ... Both heartbreaking and race-to-the-end suspenseful, as secrets will out that starkly reveal the tragedy of Argentina’s Dirty War.
... stirring if uneven ... Paloma’s determination to dig up her past and the haunting accounts of the victims of a cruel regime, though, will take readers by storm. Magnetic and revelatory, this one is imperfect if hard to put down.
