My Fathers' Ghost is Climbing in the Rain: A Novel [Audio CD] Pron, Patricio

Product Description A young writer, living abroad, returns home to his native Argentina to say goodbye to his dying father. In his parents’ house, he finds a cache of documents—articles, maps, photographs—and unwittingly begins to unearth his father’s obsession with the disappearance of a local man. Suddenly he comes face to face with the ghosts of Argentina’s dark political past and long–forgotten memories of his family’s resistance against an oppressive military regime. Told through the fragments of the narrator's investigation—as he pieces together not only a portrait of his father but also the legacy of an entire generation— My Fathers' Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain tells a completely original story of family and remembrance. It is an audacious accomplishment by an internationally acclaimed voice poised to garner equal acclaim in America.
