veerle 's review for:
It Would Be Night in Caracas
by Karina Sainz Borgo
How to cope with a dictatorial regime? That's one of the main themes in this book. Sainz Borgo shows you the different ways without judging: to play along, to rebel, to sit back and grasp opportunities.
All the people in this book have one thing in common: a sense of profound loneliness in a society where you can't trust anybody. Her portrait is harsh and frightening and debunks the romanticised picture of Latin America we tend to have. It's a horror story that is reality.
You feel the struggle, you feel the pain of every character, even the 'bad' ones. It's a loud cry for justice that doesn't come. Sometimes fiction is nothing but a reality check.
