About this book

The celebrated Uruguayan writer relays the personal pain and extensive social damage brought on by authoritarian repression and exile. Through a novel voicing the profound disruptions to human relations under a regime of military dictators, Benedetti, an exile himself, denounces the political authorities and empowers the people with a passionate hope for their country and the message that spring never fails to follow even the most oppressive of winters.
