Daughter of Recoleta: A Novel
by Max Milano
Zoe’s perfect life is about to be turned upside down. Is everything she’s known about herself and her family a lie? Is her husband really who he says he is? Was her father, who she loved dearly, really a monster that tortured and threw people off airplanes?
Daughter of Recoleta is an intense drama about the legacy of Argentina's Dirty War and the infamous torture site hidden inside the Argentine Navy's School of Mechanics. Zoe is an Argentine ex-pat working in a Silicon Valley campus when her seemingly perfect life is interrupted during her honeymoon in India by a phone call from Buenos Aires. Hearing that her father has died, Zoe is forced to leave her new husband behind and rush back to South America to attend the funeral at the Recoleta Cemetery, where only the Argentine upper class are buried. Back in Argentina for the first time in years, Zoe begins to uncover uncomfortable truths about her father's role during the Dirty War and that her new husband might not be who she thinks he is. Stalked by a mysterious old woman, Zoe is forced to confront the fact that her family's hidden secrets may be even worse than the rumors in the press, and that her entire life up to that point might have been a lie. What is Zoe's true heritage? Are her parents really her parents? What role does her husband play? This novel drags the plot of Shakespeare's Hamlet kicking and screaming to the present day, with an added dose of Tarantino-esque violence and wit. Prepare yourself for a Hamlet meets Kill Bill tour de force.
