An extraordinary story of love and exile, from one of the great masters of the Latin American novel 'Having news from you is like opening a window' Santiago is trapped. Taken political prisoner in Montevideo after a brutal military coup, he can do nothing but write letters to his family, and try to stay sane. Far away in a different country, his father tries to adjust to life in exile, his daughter marvels at the big city, and his beautiful, careworn wife finds herself irresistibly drawn to another man, as day by day Santiago edges closer to freedom. Told with tenderness and fury through the voices of a family torn apart by history, Springtime in a Broken Mirror asks whether shattered lives can ever truly be mended. 'A masterful novel . a remarkable collage of unique perspectives - or shards from that eponymous broken mirror' The National. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Riassunto

Una straordinaria storia di amore ed esilio, da uno dei grandi maestri del romanzo latinoamericano "Avere tue notizie � come aprire una finestra" Santiago � intrappolato. Fatto prigioniero politico a Montevideo dopo un brutale colpo di stato militare, non pu� 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 citt� e la sua bellissima moglie angosciata si ritrova irresistibilmente attratta da un altro uomo, mentre giorno dopo giorno Santiago si avvicina sempre di pi� alla libert�. 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.
