This book was wonderful! It was much more of an adventure than I expected. The main character, Rachel, travels about in search of her children and encounters so many interesting situations along the way. Rachel's love for her children shines throughout the novel and carries the reader through it to each of her destinations in her search.

This book is so beautifully written and also informative on the history of Argentina during the Dirty War of the 1970s. Going in to this, I had zero knowledge of Argentina's history at that time (too recent to be in history books, yet too long ago that it was before I was born) so I definitely learned a lot while reading and was still entertained with the story line containing romance and family secrets. The story flips back and forth between chapters from Paloma in 1998 wanting to learn more about her father's history, to her father, Santiago, and his time during the 1970s. These alternating perspectives always had me excited to read what would happen next. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy historical fiction and would like to learn more about this time period.
