Cataloguing the life of longtime family friend Sara Guterman, a Jewish German immigrant who escaped to Colombia during the 1930s, Gabriel's book seemed an innocent attempt to preserve a piece of his country's rapidly vanishing past. But as Gabriel pours over his research looking for clues to his father's anger, he discovers a sinister secret locked in the pages. After his father's death, and with the help of Sara Guterman and his father's girlfriend, Angelina, Gabriel peels back layer after shocking layer of family history-from the streets of 1940s Bogotá to a stranger's doorstep in 1990s Medellín-to reveal a hidden portrait of their past-dark, complex, and inescapable.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuan Gabriel Vásquez\u003c\/b\u003e's previous books include the Dublin Literary Award winner and national bestseller, \u003ci\u003eThe Sound of Things Falling\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the International Booker finalist \u003ci\u003eThe Shape of the Ruins\u003c\/i\u003e, the award-winning novels \u003ci\u003eThe Informers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Secret History of Costaguana\u003c\/i\u003e, and the story collections \u003ci\u003eSongs for the Flames \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLovers on All Saints' Day\u003c\/i\u003e.
