|a "The tension in this lyric novella, poised between the softness of remembered love and the relentless gibberish of war, is drama enough, but unfolding beside it is a tale of Argentinian brutality that, like gunshot, explodes when it is least expected. In a never-to-be-delivered letter to his beloved Sarah in England, written during the desolation of the Falklands under siege, Enrique Molina revives more chilling memories: of his brother Juan tortured in a Patagonian cell; of Monkey, the spirited boy Juan betrays; of his sister Ana escaping to Brazil after the murder of her teacher; of his silent capable mother. Now he is fighting the English people he has been taught to revere, conscripted by a country he has been made to hate, for the sake of an island foreign to Englishman and Argentinean alike. Enrique ends his letter with Matthew Arnold's famous lines: "We are here as on a darkling plain . . . Where ignorant armies clash by night,'' summing up his pain and his predicament. It is a moving epitaph for Enrique and this beautiful book." --Publishers Weekly.
