Mehso-so

I founds this quite difficult to get into, it‘s hard going. I enjoy the magical realism genre but it didn‘t really work for me in this one as it dealt with serious subject matter. I found the writing a little ‘flowery‘. On the other hand I did find it interesting as I don‘t know much about the Argentinian ‘Dirty‘ War. So at least I‘ve learnt something! I liked the ending as it was left on a note of hope. I read this with my local book club.
