A review by leslico
On a Night of a Thousand Stars by Andrea Yaryura Clark

4.0

This is a fascinating but heartbreaking historical fiction story. I didn't know much about Argentina's history and this was a great way to learn more about it. It follows dual timelines: in the years leading up to Argentina's military dictatorship in 1976, when Santiago was a young student, and in 1998 in New York, when he is appointed as Argentina's UN ambassador, and his daughter Paloma wants to learn more about his history. This book raises a lot of hard questions and makes you think about them from different perspectives!
