«Purgatorio» is the historical fiction novel by Tomás Eloy Martínez, published by Alfaguara in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
Argentina, winter of 1976: the military regime detains Simón Cardoso and nothing more is heard of him. Three decades later, his wife, Emilia Dupuy, thinks she hears him in a bar in New Jersey. From that impossible encounter, the novel sets out to speak of love broken and recovered, of exile and memory, between truth and illusion.
This is the first edition, published on January 8, 2009, in Alfaguara's Hispánica collection, with flaps.
For readers of historical fiction and romantic narrative, especially those interested in the memory of the last Argentine dictatorship.
Tomás Eloy Martínez was an Argentine journalist and writer.
