Description
The Blue Line A Novel by Ingrid Betancourt is a powerful and haunting story set against the backdrop of Argentina's tumultuous 1970s. Against this complex and often terrifying landscape, a young woman named Julia inherits a mysterious gift that allows her to see visions of the future. As Julia navigates the treacherous world of revolutionary politics and military dictatorship, she must confront the harsh realities of her country's descent into chaos. With the help of her lover Theo, a charismatic revolutionary, Julia finds herself drawn into a world of radical idealism and activism. But as the stakes grow higher, Julia begins to realize that her gift is both a blessing and a curse. In this deeply felt and deeply personal novel, Ingrid Betancourt draws on her own experiences as an activist and a hostage to create a breathtaking portrait of a woman coming of age in the face of unimaginable danger.
