Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. An intriguing concept and a good use of telling a story from the vantage points of different times in the heroine's life, but I wanted more detail and dialogue. ( )Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Tom Milton’s A Contrite Heart is an interesting concept that fails in the implementation. He gives us an impressive start that thrills. And then proceeds in giving us a plodding story to back that up. It is a short story that I found myself wanting to be longer and more interesting.

I received this book from the librarything.com early member giveaway for an honest Review. I enjoyed the book very much, Catalina was an amazing character, her story was revealing and she showed that she could better her and her daughter's life!!! Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This was a really good book. At first it seemed it would be too much political stuff for my taste but then the story evolved, and I thought it was great Catalina has completed 5 years of medical school when the political situation in Argentina deteriorates. She is unable to finish her residency and becomes involved in Father Fracisco's group to help the poor. After he is killed, Catalina is drawn into the war and is part of a murder. Years later the victim's son finds her in New York to kill her. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The story of a woman who committed a major crime against the military government in Argentina during the Dirty War in the 1970s. After twenty-five years she still feels guilty for what she did, and since it led to the deaths of other people, including the father of her child, she's unable to forgive herself. She's living in New York City now, and as she's leaving for work one morning she confronts a young man standing on the sidewalk in front of her apartment building who addresses her with the alias she used in her crime. She is startled by the encounter, especially since the guy speaks English with the accent of someone from Argentina, but she recovers enough to deny that she's the person he thinks she is, and she walks away, wondering if he's an Argentine police agent who has managed to track her and finally find her. She can get away from him during the day, but he knows where she lives, and she can expect him to be waiting outside her building that evening when she goes home. So what does this guy want from her? Does he want to arrest her and take her back to Argentina where she will be justly punished for her crime? Does he want revenge? She can only imagine, and she can't ask for police protection because if she does, it will all come out: what she did in Argentina and its fatal consequences. Although it was dormant, her feeling of guilt was always alive in the bottom of her heart, and now it has been aroused by a guy identifying her as the woman who played a key role in the kidnapping of an army colonel so many years ago.
