This remarkable and highly original novel, the mesmerizing tale of Dolores Rivas, begins in an orphanage in 1950s Buenos Aires. A wounded girl, she becomes convinced that her mother is the child mistress of ex-President Juan Peron. ‘Epitaph for Sorrows’ builds on the true-life affair of Peron and fourteen-year-old Nelly Rivas, a scandal contributing to Peron’s overthrow. Dolores fashions a meticulous journal to record her life, entrusting it to a prominent journalist. At great risk, he transforms it into a poignant epitaph indicting a system that embraces death and dismisses Dolores’ life. Her quixotic search for her mother personifies Argentina’s quest for truth in a world of lies and records the human costs of state terror.
