Alicia Dujovne OrtizRezensionen

After having seen the musical and having been to Buenos Aires, I decided to find out the reality behind the legend/myth of Evita. This was very interesting, thorough and easy to read. It seemed quite balanced not deifying her nor villifying her.

A very soft 3 stars. This is the tale of Africa de las Heras aka Maria Luisa aka war hero, spy extraordinaire of the USSR. This extraordinary woman really existed. From the Spanish Civil War all through WW2, the Cold War she stood tall and did her duty.

Alicia Dujovne Ortiz wrote a fictional account of this amazing woman life and it's using fiction that didn't sit well with me, it kinda cheapens the life of Africa. You don't believe she's actually real. I had to check to be sure. That kinda tells me the writer didn't do a really good job of making me believe she was. I'm hoping to one day read a biography of Africa de las Heras, woman, revolutionary, assassin, actress, colonel, all around master spy.

One cannot escape the fascinating personality of Evitia Peron in this book. Recommended reading.

Jag tycker den här boken var långtråkig! Jag får ingen riktig känsla för Eva Peron och hennes liv och handlingar lämnar mig oberörd. Från födsel till döden skildras hennes liv där framförallt hennes äktenskap med Peron står i centrum.
