(4) YA In alternating narratives, Silvia and her brother, Eduardo, tell of their lives in Argentina in 1977. Eduardo is imprisoned for protesting against the military-run government; Silvia devises a plan to rescue him and ends up placing herself in danger as well. The siblings' narratives effectively evoke the time and setting, but their characters aren't completely fleshed out. Reading list.
