I enjoyed this review very much. Living in a country where a son of a former dictator now rules, Edel’s story speaks to what I fear my country is beginning to forget--the sacredness of human freedom and the pain that ensues when this value is sacrificed to a charismatic but self-interested leader.
We’ve returned to a darker period in our history. And your review makes me wonder whether leaving is the only way out?

"Illuminations" - YES!
Thanks for this rec, I need a graphic novel for my reading challenge!
Definitely want to read this this year. Hopefully in Miami. 🙂
Excellent review, and a chilling reminder of why our freedom in America is important to defend and protect.
