Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Adrian Ormache is a high-flying Peruvian lawyer in one of Lima's wealthiest neighbourhoods. His life is rudely interrupted by shocking revelations about his military father, a man with a dubious track record during the country's civil war years.
Destabilised by this new world view, Ormache plunges into Lima's demi-monde seeking to come to terms with his family's dark history. Cueto, like other Peruvian writers of his generation, captures ten years of unrest and terrorism with tempered maturity.
Frank Wynne's translation does justice to the author's urbane prose.
