Synopsis:
Twenty-year-old Luz, an Argentinian, is on holiday in Madrid with her husband and new-born son. But secretly she has a mission - to find her real father. Carlos was a `desaparecido' - one of the many political activists in Argentina who literally `disappeared' during the country's brutal military dictatorship in the seventies - while her mother, a political prisoner, was killed trying to flee the country. As a baby, Luz was secretly adopted by a wealthy couple, unaware of her true origins. My Name is Light is a gripping, emotionally charged book, a powerful story about a young girl's quest to find her identity and to uncover the deadly secrets of one of Argentina's darkest periods.
About the Author: Elsa Osorio is an award-winning writer and teacher. Winner of the Premio Nacional de Literatura in Argentina for this novel, she now lives in Madrid.
