Description
On the afternoon when Angel Allegria arrives at the Poloverdos' farmhouse, he kills the farmer and his wife. But he spares their child, Paolo--a young boy who will claim this as the day on which he was born. Together the killer and the boy begin a new life on this remote and rugged stretch of land in Chile.
Then Luis Secunda, a well-to-do and educated fellow from the city, descends upon them. Paolo is caught in the paternal rivalry between the two men. But life resumes its course...until circumstances force the three to leave the farm. In doing so, Angel and Luis confront their pasts as well as their inevitable destinies--destinies that profoundly shape Paolo's own future.
Anne-Laure Bondoux's tour de force is a magnificent exploration of innocence, guilt, and the redemptive power of love.
