Fascinating and well-written memoir about a unique childhood. What an intense thing to have to keep track of shifting identities and secrets and class dynamics while figuring out adolescence. And to go to high school with Pinochet's niece while your parents are undercover revolutionaries? It's bizarre to think about. I appreciated the backdrop of the various revolutionary movements in South American in the 1970s/80s - that is still a bit of a fuzzy spot in my sense of history.
