Review from my father:
"This is an interesting book and a good read. The bulk of the book, Chapters 2 – 8. Introduces us to the social stresses in Latin America in the latter half of the 20th Century through the eyes of a number of fictionalized young people. It gives their take on the struggles, political, social, etc., of the turbulent times in a number of South American countries.
The first chapter is the author’s own story – a child of the Holocaust who escaped to, and grew up in. Venezuela with his family. He later came to the U.S. and Canada where he became a respected professor of biology.
It is an excellent window onto the troubles of our Latin American cousins – a ‘must read’!
