A decade after fleeing for his life\, a ma n is pulled back to Argentina by an undying love. In 1976\, Tomá\;s Orilla is a medical student in Buenos Aires\, where he has moved in hopes of reuniting with Isabel\, a childhood crush. But the reckless passion tha t has long drawn him is leading Isabel ever deeper into the ranks of the i nsurgency fighting an increasingly oppressive regime. Tomá\;s has al ways been willing to follow her anywhere\, to do anything to prove himself . Yet what exactly is he proving\, and at what cost to them both? It will be years before a summons back arrives for Tomá\;s\, now living as T homas Shore in New York. It isn&rsquo\;t a homecoming that awaits him\, ho wever\, so much as an odyssey into the past\, an encounter with the ghosts that lurk there\, and a reckoning with the fatal gap between who he has b ecome and who he once aspired to be. Raising profound questions about the sometimes impossible choices we make in the name of love\, \;Hades\, A rgentina \;is a gripping\, ingeniously narrated literary debut. (From the publisher)
