Reviews
"The provincial heartland that is depicted is deeply endearing…The author offers no apologies or heroes, only humble beings whose portraits are remarkably true-to-life, who show their solidarity in difficult times and suffer the consequences Such a wide lens means that all kinds of readers will recognize themselves somewhere in this compelling narrative."- Artenauta " Gloria Lisé describes a terrifying period in her nation's history with a touch that is light yet penetrating. A powerful portrait of Argentinians caught up in traumas that have haunted the country ever since."- La Bloga, "The provincial heartland that is depicted is deeply endearing&The author offers no apologies or heroes, only humble beings whose portraits are remarkably true-to-life, who show their solidarity in difficult times and suffer the consequences Such a wide lens means that all kinds of readers will recognize themselves somewhere in this compelling narrative."- Artenauta " Gloria Lise describes a terrifying period in her nation's history with a touch that is light yet penetrating.

Lis sketches Berta's quest for autonomy and self against the vivid, violent backdrop of a country seeking the same." --Publishers Weekly "It never ceases to astound me how many people around the world choose to deny a dark period in the history of their respective nations. Anyone anywhere today in need of the reminder that political change begins with speaking out should read this testimony." --Ana Castillo, author of Massacre of the Dreamers "Immense human depth and a high quality of writing." --David William Foster, author of Violence in Argentine Literature "From the heart of Argentina comes a novel of the heart, where the outbreak of our worst military dictatorship is told with utmost reserve. Departing at Dawn is a beautifully simple, poetic story of solidarity and love, with memorable characters painted in the tender strokes of a watercolor." --Luisa Valenzuela, author of Black Novel (with Argentines) "Deeply endearing. . . . The author offers no apologies or heroes, only humble beings . . . whose portraits are remarkably true-to-life. All kinds of readers will recognize themselves somewhere in this compelling narrative." --Artenauta Periodico de Cultura "An intriguing, fast-paced fictional narrative of the 1976 Argentine dictatorship. This postmodern parable tells the story of a nomadic female subject on her fugitive escape from torture and death." --Magdalena Maiz-Pea, professor and chair of Spanish, Davidson College "As homage for a generation sacrificed and a call for vigilance against national pogroms, Lis taps memory as living historical archive to reveal the indomitable Argentine spirit of survival incarnate in its immigrant, indigenous and working class peoples. Highly recommended for high school and college libraries and curriculums including English, Latin American, history, women's studies, and cultural studies." --Gisela Norat, professor of Spanish, Agnes Scott College "Gloria Lis's Departing at Dawn follows the trail blazed by Alicia Partnoy, Alicia Kozameh, Cristina Feijo and Nora Strejilevich, and makes a significant contribution to our understanding of that era. Alice Weldon's remarkable translation faithfully renders the tone of this poignant novel." --Cynthia Margarita Tompkins, associate professor of Spanish, Arizona State University, Praise for Departing at Dawn "With graceful writing . . .

Synopsis
March 23, 1976. Berta watches as her lover, Atilio, a union organizer, is thrown from a window to his death on the sidewalk below. The next day, Colonel Jorge Rafael Videla stages a coup d' tat and a military dictatorship takes control of Argentina. Though never a part of Atilio's union efforts, Berta is on a list to be "disappeared" and flees to relatives in the countryside. There she becomes part of the family she knows only from old photographs: Aunt Avelina, who blasts records from an old player; Uncle Nepomuceno, who watches slugs slither in the garden every afternoon; and Uncle Javier, who sits in his tiny grocery store day and night. When Berta learns that government officials are still looking for her, she realizes she must run even further to save her life. Gloria Lis describes a terrifying period in her nation's history with a touch that is light yet penetrating. A powerful portrait of Argentinians caught up in traumas that have haunted the country ever since., "[A] quiet, powerful novel" of a young woman caught in the chaos of Argentina in the mid-1970s, when speaking against the government could mean death (Publishers Weekly). March 23, 1976. Berta watches horrified as her lover, a union organizer named Atilio, is thrown from a window to his death by soldiers. The next day, Colonel Jorge Rafael Videla stages a coup d'état and a military dictatorship takes control of Argentina. And even though she was never a part of Atilio's union efforts, Berta is on a list to be "disappeared." Fleeing to relatives in the countryside, she becomes part of the family she knows only from old photographs: Aunt Avelina, who blasts music from an old record player; Uncle Nepomuceno, who watches slugs slither in the garden every afternoon; and Uncle Javier, who sits in his tiny grocery store day and night. But soon enough, Berta realizes she must run even further to save her life--and those she has come to love. With a prose that is light yet penetrating, Gloria Lisé has written "a beautifully simple, poetic story of solidarity and love, with memorable characters painted in the tender strokes of a watercolor" (Luisa Valenzuela, author of Black Novel with Argentines).
