dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad medium-paced

4.0

I can't say I loved this book. The story was very sad and traumatic with hope. While this story is in the voice of a teen, I would not call it YA. I found it very disturbing. It was also informative on life in Chile both recent and in times of political torture. It is excellent writing, but there is rape and torture in this book.
