Silver, Sword, and Stone: Three Crucibles in the Latin American Story by Marie Arana

5.0

It's unusual to find non-fiction that is so compelling I can't put it down, but also *must* put down because the history is so devastating and disheartening. It's not the author's job to provide hope for a better future or a different approach to politics in each (or even some) Latin American country, and she did not provide it! I'm sure someone else can or will. I am grateful for a new and timely understanding of the region and beautiful stories. Just, uh... don't look for a happy ending.
