Official synopsis Publisher
Desarrollada en un país latinamericano sin nombre que vive bajo el dominio de una dictadura militar, la segunda, hipnotizante, novela de Allende cuenta la historia de una mujer y un hombre que están destinados, bajo las circunstancias más espeluzantes, a compartir un amor excepcional. Irene Beltrán es fruto de la clase alta, una bien intencionada, aunque algo ingenua, reportera en una revista para mujeres. Francisco Leal, hijo de exiliados españoles, es un fotógrafo partidario de la resistencia clandestina. Durante el curso de un trabajo rutinario, esta pareja descubre, literalmente, un crimen que resulta en desafío — y provocación — al terrorismo oficial del gobierno, y que también pone en grave peligro sus vidas.
