Sim\u00F3n Cardoso has been dead for thirty years when his wife, Emilia Dupuy, finds him in a New Jersey diner. Testimonies confirmed that Sim\u00F3n had been one of the thousands of victims of Argentina's military regime, executed for being a 'subversive'; yet this man is identical to the man she lost three decades ago. While skirting around the mystery, Eloy Mart\u00EDnez masterfully peels away layer upon layer of history - both personal and political. And just as Sim\u00F3n's disappearance comes to represent the thousands of disappearances that were such a common occurrence during the dictatorship, so Emilia's refusal to accept his death mirrors the country's unwillingness to face its reality.\n The final work of the late Mart\u00EDnez, Purgatory is his most moving, most autobiographical novel.\n\nPurgatory\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as lo;
