Recensione
The story honors the heroism of the mothers and grandmothers of the missing . The first half is tense and dramatic, yet the story becomes truly remarkable later on (Booklist)
Brothers, who as a journalist spent time in Latin America, is at her best capturing the pitched atmosphere of Buenos Aires as the coup unfolds . Enjoyable (Kirkus Reviews)
A sublimely told and heartbreaking story. While devastating in its depiction of the depths to which humanity can sink, its evocative language and splendid characters make it a pleasure to read (Better Reading)
Heart-wrenching . a story all of us should read (Daily Mail on Hinterland)
A moving account ... Brothers' elegant prose holds sentimentality at bay, complementing some impressive reportage (Financial Times)
Intensely evocative . Impressively accomplished (Independent)
An illuminating and timely story . a book that haunts and shames in equal measure (Guardian)
There is poetry on every page, as well as pity, and the poetry is not always in the pity but in the joy of being alive on this earth (Irish Times)
Descrizione del libro
A compelling tale of a young woman's disappearance in 1970s Argentina, The Memory Stones is a sweeping, epic story of a family tragedy whose consequences echo throughout generations
