Perla by Caro De Robertis

5.0

This book's character Perla is in her early 20's and lives in Buenos Aires. I haven't been to BA, nor Uruguay, also part of the story, but after reading this story I am yearning to visit both. The book is full of yearning, includes magical realism, and focuses on questions revolving around the Dirty War in Argentina from 1976-1983. Beautifully written, and a book I found hard to put down.
