This memoir is all about a young girl, Mirta’s, upbringing. She is both Argentinian and American and in addition to that she is protective of her Jewish identity. This is quite a mix and although unique, it can prove to be problematic when you are confused about culture and identity. Difficult, when your old/new country is at war with what you believe in.
The reader gets to learn a lot about pivotal events in Argentine history from a personal perspective and this makes their impact all the more real and interesting.
