Media Reviews
From one of Latin America's outstanding authors, a monumental novel about - and terrible indictment of - the abuses of the Rafael Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic. Dense in reminiscence and multi-layered in perspective, the feast of eloquent writing tumbles out and eventually unites parallel stories of a particular family involved in Trujillo's fate; the aging dictator himself bound up by physical frailty yet still capable of unacknowledged inhumanity, and those patriots plotting his assassination. The intense descriptive and Byzantine machinations make for an intellectually demanding yet richly rewarding novel whose recreation of bygone excesses is ultimately applicable to all such flawed regimes.
