I read the original i.e. Spanish edition. She tells the story with great compassion and attention to detail. It has many echos to the present.Immigrants not wanted then making a great contribution to the country: struggles in healthcare: social mores that frustrate individuals.Other issues that seamlessy appear as the story unfolds.Her uncle Salvadore Allende deposed by Kissinger makes an appearance.
