The latest offering by Carolina De Robertis, Perla, has it all: a story that pulls you in with the first page, context that is interesting, characters you can believe in (even when you don’t), a true sense of place, and, well, pick whatever you like about a novel and you will find it here. Set in Argentina, this books pulls together the history of the disappeared ones and the power of love. It is a masterpiece of storytelling and writing. Don’t miss it.
