When three colleagues
die violently during a single wartime election day in Central America,
two female journalists, best friends, are hurled into a torrent of
change in their personal and professional lives and in their
relationship with each other. The author, bedeviled by stress and
feelings of abandonment, hangs on by her fingernails to reporting while
her dear friend “just can’t take another picture of a dead body” and
throws herself into teaching photography to children who live in a
garbage dump. Big questions quietly roil their lives—What is our
responsibility to history? To individuals?—until unexpectedly, they
approach an answer together, when a child from the dump goes missing.This is a wonderful story about friendship in time of war. It was very well written and will keep you from putting the book down. Truly wonderful.
