It is sunrise in a peaceful mountain village. Soldiers appear and begin a barbaric massacre‚ a crime against humanity. From beyond‚ the dead are waiting for possible survivors to testify about this terror and therefore denounce the assassins. This will be achieved‚ few years later‚ when those who escaped the massacre meet again. With the help of a human rights association‚ they remember Felipe‚ Ana Maria‚ Laura‚ Arturo‚ Ignacio‚ Manolo‚ and many others. One summer morning‚ they return to their village‚ where remains only ash and terror.
Frank Andriat proposes a novel with two voices. The poignant one of the dead that address themselves to us with their souls‚ very much alive. And the one of the living‚ the survivors of the monstrosities‚ that attempt to regain a more humane world. A text written with great maturity‚ that – because of it’s particular style‚ sometimes poetic‚ sometimes light and funny –‚ enable us to approach difficult themes such as death‚ barbarity‚ suffering‚ dictatorship‚ the duty of remembrance but also of solidarity… Age: 15 and up
