Luce finished reading Mein Name ist Luz by Elsa Osorio
I loved the style of this very touching book. I have some family relations to Argentina and the military dictatorship and this book really helped me to learn more about this time and certain tendencies in Argentinian culture. But I can also very much recommend it for the story and emotional development of the characters and their relationships, and how they are also formed by the political circumstances and trauma, and how people can work on it and for a better society if they want. It's one of those books that you keep thinking about. The original version in Spanish is called "A veinte años, Luz" which translates to "At twenty years, light", but Luz is also the name of the main character. There's quite a few scenes I would add CWs to (violence, torture, rape/sexual assault, forced adoption), so be careful if you're not in a headspace to read …
