Then Came Morning - Paperback

by James Grand (Author)

In 1978, Argentina is in the midst of the military's infamous "Dirty War." A junta has plunged the nation into its darkest days and its people into a vortex of fear and suspicion. Those who think differently or independently may leave their homes and never return; they are "disappeared." Then Came Morning follows two young men with little in common but their curiosity about the mysteries and omnipresent danger around them. Paul's modest and na?ve life is restricted; Marco's life of privilege has ties to the ruling regime. Despite the clash of class and ideologies, their bond grows until one afternoon the unthinkable happens.

Then Came Morning is a haunting portrayal of a nation's descent into darkness but also the enduring quest for justice and remembrance. The two men's journeys try to make sense of what is happening around them and to their nation and reveal truths each must face about his family, his country and, ultimately, himself.
