Description
The Memory Stones In the sweltering summer of 1976, the Ferrero family gathers in Tigre, seeking refuge from the heat. But their idyllic escape is short-lived, as the Argentine military stages a coup that shatters their lives forever. As the family is torn apart, Osvaldo is forced to flee to Europe, while his wife Yolanda fights on, desperate to find any trace of their daughters. As the years pass, the Disappeared - thousands of Argentinians who fell victim to the violence of the period - become a grim reality. This book tells the story of those who were lost, and the families who were left to pick up the pieces. A powerful and moving portrayal of a nation's darkest hour, The Memory Stones is a testament to the enduring power of love and resilience. Through the eyes of Osvaldo and Yolanda, we see the devastating impact of the military coup on a family and a nation. A heart-wrenching and thought-provoking novel, The Memory Stones is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of human experience.
