"Bentez's third novel seamlessly blends fact with imagination, evoking the trauma of war more vividly than any newspaper account . . . beautifully illuminating." (

starred review)
Sandra Bentez 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.
