Title : Swimming Naked - Carla Guelfenbein - book
Summary :
Overjoyed at introducing her friend Morgana to a father she worships, Sophie is far from imagining that the two will fall madly in love and conceive a child. Devastated by grief, the betrayed daughter joins her mother in France just as the world is falling apart in Chile in the summer of 1973. Morgana and Diego are killed in the midst of a siege, while their baby, taken to Spain, is saved at the last minute from hell.
Images of the September 11, 2001 attacks reawaken Sophie's memories of the burning government palace in Santiago, 28 years earlier, and drive her to search for the hated child - her half-sister.
In a stormy and sensual prose where the spasms of the body respond to the convulsions of History, Carla Guelfenbein confronts the Chile of her youth and of the great shattered dreams.
