The novel, set during the reign of terror of the Generals in Argentina, the military torture in Uruguay and the overthrow of the Allende government in Chile is a dialogue between two women. Irene is an aging actress, who has led a privileged and bohemian life in South America, and is confounded by the repressive governmental tactics, the possible capture of her son in the Chilean overthrow, and the disappearance of her aristocratic friend's daughter in Argentina. Dolores, a daughter of the fearful Uruguayan working class, has gone to university, married a revolutionary and lost him and their unborn child to the torture inflicted by the military.

It was the realization that the grenadier guards were not there that gave her a sudden, terrifying insight into the enemys's machinations: every Thursday, for the two to three hours during which the the demonstration took place, the Plaza de Mayo was wiped off the map. They couldn't fire on the women or lock them all up. It would have undermined the concerted effort they'd made to project a carefree image of the 'the Argentina I love'. Their ploy was simply to ignore them: to ignore the existence of the square and of the madwomen stamping their feet. Had they arrived at that degree of sophistication? And why not, if the same sophistication operated at the level of tortures and abductions. A developed nation does things properly."
Chilling. But it was finally those those madwomen, those mothers, who brought down the regime of horror in Argentina.… (mehr)
