The Weight of All Things - Sandra Benitez

Benitez received international acclaim for her first two novels: A Place Where the Sea Remembers (A quietly stunning work that leaves soft tracks in the heart--Washington Post Book World) and Bitter Grounds (The kind of book that fills your dreams for weeks--Isabel Allende). Now she returns with an unforgettable tale of a boy's life in war-torn El Salvador. Bentez's third novel seamlessly blends fact with imagination, evoking the trauma of war more vividly than any newspaper account . . . beautifully illuminating.
