'This is an impressive book. In writing it the author demonstrates
great talent, as well as great courage.' **-Mario Vargas Llosa **
If I succeed in understanding who he was before I was born, perhaps
I will be able to understand who I am now that he is dead...In this
sprawling family saga stretching across Latin America, a son
embarks on a journey to understand his complex relationship with
his father and how it shaped the man he is today. Recalling Gabriel
Garcia Marquez's _One Hundred Years of Solitude _and Isabel
Allende's House of the Spirits, the renowned journalist and writer
Renato Cisneros probes deep into his own family history to try to
come to terms with his father, General Luis Federico 'The Gaucho'
Cisneros, a leading, controversial figure in the oppressive
military regime that held power in Peru during the 1970s and 1980s,
a tortuous period marked by state-sanctioned terrorism and the rise
of the Shining Path.Selling over 35,000 copies in Peru alone, The
Distance Between Us is at once excruciating in its honesty and
deeply moving in its universal relevance. Selected for a slew of
international prizes, it is now available in English for the first
time.
