The Blue Hour | Alonso Cueto

2 posts | 1 read | 5 to read

Adriįn Ormache, a high-flying lawyer with a beautiful wife and two daughters, leads a privileged and glamorous life in one of Lima’s wealthiest neighbourhoods. But when his mother dies, he discovers a letter amongst her possessions making shocking claims about her now long-dead husband, Adriįn’s father – a commander in the army during the Peruvian Civil War of the 1980s. As well as being linked to atrocities committed against the ‘Shining Path’ guerrillas, it appears that he also kidnapped and kept a local girl, whose family now seeks retribution. Shocked out of his comfortable existence, Adriįn becomes obsessed with finding the girl at the heart of the mystery, and sets out to face the harrowing realities of Peru’s recent past, and uncover the truth about his father.

From my tbr pile for the something blue part of the challenge and what an interesting read. Set in Peru a successful lawyer, and happy family life, on the death of his mother, has to confront his father's involvement as a navy officer in the atrocities of the war with shining light in the 80's. Some parts made difficult reading, + at times he is a little irritating but the end had me wiping my eyes.

ReadingEnvy What a compelling cover, definitely makes me want to know what is out the window.... 5y

andrew61 @ReadingEnvy it is a lovely cover and probably what drew me to it in the first place. 5y

Cathythoughts Sounds good. Yes fab cover ! I‘m doing this challenge too. I‘m going to read
