I had trouble rating this book. I appreciated the historical background of Argentina's Dirty War. This is not a time period I knew much about and the book inspired me to read more. Therefore, that was a 5.
However, I was unable to connect with the characters in the book which, for me, is essential. The complete lack of communication in any of the relationships caused the characters to be shallow and the story line frustrating. That rating was a 1. Therefore I rated the book a 3.
