Editorial Review:
Now available in paperback -- "Benítez's third novel seamlessly blends fact with imagination, evoking the trauma of war more vividly than any newspaper account . . . beautifully illuminating." (Publishers Weekly starred review)
Sandra Benítez received international acclaim for her first two novels: A Place Where the Sea Remembers ("A quietly stunning work that leaves soft tracks in the heart" --Washington Post Book World) and Bitter Grounds ("The kind of book that fills your dreams for weeks" --Isabel Allende). Now she returns with an unforgettable tale of life in war-torn El Salvador.

Superbly written from the first word to the last! This book has joined my all time favorites list. It's a gripping story with a seamless fusion between fiction and the harsh realities of the Salvadorean conflict. I simply could not put it down. My greatest admiration for the author!

Rating: - Great Writing and Very Moving Story
After reading this book I ordered all of Sandra Benitez's other novels. The writing was gripping from the very first sentence ..."it would be clear it was a bullet to the head that killed her." Emotionally intense, historically and culturally correct and a story that both warmed and broke my heart at the same time. This is a very realistic story of innocent people caught up in the middle of political turmoil.
