"An irreplaceable testimony of the struggle for democracy and
tolerance in Latin America." "--El Pais
"
Hector Abad's "Oblivion "is a heartbreaking, exquisitely written
memorial to the author's father, Hector Abad Gomez, whose criticism
of the Colombian regime led to his murder by paramilitaries in
1987. Twenty years in the writing, it paints an unforgettable
picture of a man who followed his conscience and paid for it with
his life during one of the darkest periods in Latin America's
recent history.

When the Angel family's beloved home in the Antioquian wilderness
falls into danger, they manage to defend it against the guerrillas
and, later, the paramilitaries - but at a high price. After their
parents' death, Pilar, Eva and Tono have to decide the fate of
their father's legacy. While Pilar and Tono want to keep La Oculta,
Eva, who experienced something terrible at the old farm house, is
determined to sell. As the siblings each struggle with their own
problems, their inner conflicts threaten to tear apart not only
their home but also their family.

Oblivion is a heartbreaking tribute to the author's father, Hector
Abad Gomez, whose criticism of the Colombian regime led to his
murder by paramilitaries in 1987. Twenty years in the writing, it
paints an unforgettable picture of a man who followed his
conscience and paid for it with his life during one of the darkest
periods in Latin America's recent history. Transcending the
political, it also shines as one of the most exquisitely written
accounts of profound love between a father and son that modern
literature has to offer.
