Una straordinaria storia di amore ed esilio, da uno dei grandi maestri del romanzo latinoamericano "Avere tue notizie è come aprire una finestra" Santiago è intrappolato. Fatto prigioniero politico a Montevideo dopo un brutale colpo di stato militare, non può fare altro che scrivere lettere alla sua famiglia e cercare di restare sano di mente. Lontano, in un altro paese, suo padre cerca di adattarsi alla vita in esilio, sua figlia si meraviglia della grande città e la sua bellissima moglie angosciata si ritrova irresistibilmente attratta da un altro uomo, mentre giorno dopo giorno Santiago si avvicina sempre di più alla libertà. Raccontato con tenerezza e rabbia attraverso le voci di una famiglia dilaniata dalla storia, Primavera in uno specchio rotto si chiede se le vite distrutte possano mai essere veramente riparate. "Un romanzo magistrale. Un notevole collage di prospettive uniche, o frammenti di quell'omonimo specchio rotto" The National.

Mario Benedetti (Author)
Mario Orlando Hamlet Hardy Brenno Benedetti, known as Mario Benedetti, was a Uruguayan journalist, novelist, and poet. He is considered one of the most important 20th century Latin American writers, especially in the Spanish-speaking world. A revolutionary and a passionate romantic, Benedetti wrote of love, anger, political resistance and redemption, particularly during the period of his enforced exile from Uruguay, between 1973 and 1985. One of his last poems encapsulated his unquenchable creative urge: "When I'm buried / don't forget to put a Biro in my coffin."
