“We are the most important piece in a game, but we still don't know what the game is.”
A powerfully moving story!
It is such a tiny book but surprisingly it kept me engaged in the dark, dreary atmosphere of this book. Written from the pov of a generation whose whole life is very much shaped by the years of dictatorship, it has discussed mostly the political prosecution(with a light hint of censorship) of the opposition/ or anyone who has a different ideology from the current government. One thing I have also noticed is how Gonzalez's close friends also distance themselves from her probably because of her family's association with the military . Many details/incidents are not properly concluded in the book, depicting the mystery and uncertainty of the time. Although The thing I am most pleased about is that this book has encouraged me to read more about the history of Chile, Peru and Bolivia to get more context on the story.
4.25/5
p.s- Read it for the women in translation challenge
