More
than thirty years ago, as part of Argentina’s “Dirty War,” close to
30,000 dissidents and other like-minded people simply disappeared as
part of a massive state-sponsored program. During this cruel
obliteration, children, too, were abducted, and those born to the
disappeared were adopted into new families--entire generations of people
torn from each other forcibly. These “disappeared” or “desaparecidos” form the central focus of Caroline de Robertis’s new novel, Perla.
The rest of my review is here.
