Historia
After his son is convicted of capital murder, Vietnam War veteran Jeremiah Fitzjurls takes over the care of his granddaughter, Joanna, raising her with as much warmth as can be found in an Ozark junkyard outfitted to be an armory. He teaches her how to shoot and fight, but there is not enough training in the world to protect her when the dreaded Ledfords, notorious meth dealers and fanatical white supremacists, come to collect on Joanna as payment for a long-overdue blood debt.

Cast out of the royal court by Eleanor of Aquitaine, deemed too coarse and rough-hewn for marriage or courtly life, seventeen-year-old Marie de France is sent to England to be the new prioress of an impoverished abbey, its nuns on the brink of starvation and beset by disease. At first taken aback by the severity of her new life, Marie finds focus and love in collective life with her singular and mercurial sisters. In this crucible, Marie steadily supplants her desire for family, for her homeland, for the passions of her youth with something new to her.

Florence, the 1550s. Lucrezia, third daughter of the grand duke, is comfortable with her obscure place in the palazzo: free to wonder at its treasures, observe its clandestine workings, and to devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding, Lucrezia is thrust into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father just as quick to accept on her behalf. Having barely left girlhood behind, Lucrezia must make her way in a court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed.

The year 1904. On the banks of the Zambezi River, a few miles from the majestic Victoria Falls, there is a colonial settlement called The Old Drift. In a smoky room at the hotel across the river, an Old Drifter named Percy M. Clark, foggy with fever, makes a mistake that entangles the fates of an Italian hotelier and an African busboy. This sets off a cycle of unwitting retribution between three Zambian families (black, white, brown) as they collide and converge over the course of the century, into the present and beyond.

Resumen del Editor
VCU CABELL FIRST NOVELIST AWARD FINALIST
CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE LONGLIST
“A debut novel as impressive as they come. Tough, wily, dreamlike.” —Seattle Times
A decade after fleeing for his life, a man is pulled back to Argentina by an undying love.
In 1976, Tomás Orilla is a medical student in Buenos Aires, where he has moved in hopes of reuniting with Isabel, a childhood crush. But the reckless passion that has long drawn him is leading Isabel ever deeper into the ranks of the insurgency fighting an increasingly oppressive regime. Tomás has always been willing to follow her anywhere, to do anything to prove himself. Yet what exactly is he proving, and at what cost to them both?
It will be years before a summons back arrives for Tomás, now living as Thomas Shore in New York. It isn’t a homecoming that awaits him, however, so much as an odyssey into the past, an encounter with the ghosts that lurk there, and a reckoning with the fatal gap between who he has become and who he once aspired to be. Raising profound questions about the sometimes impossible choices we make in the name of love, Hades, Argentina is a gripping, ingeniously narrated literary debut.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“It is not always ‘us versus them.’ It is the ‘me versus me’ that plays out in individuals as they wrestle with what it means to do the right thing.... Loedel draws the line of complicity ever closer...asking readers to consider at what point the witness becomes victimizer.... [He] continually works to erase the notion that only the evil commit evil acts, which adds to the horror. How do ‘ordinary men’ become instruments of a repressive state?” (Los Angeles Times)
“This haunting historical novel...weaves betrayal and sacrifice so intricately that one cannot be disentangled from the other” (The New Yorker)
“Elegant, searching.... Amid echoes of the Orpheus myth and swirls of magic...a descent into an underworld of memory and brutality.” (O, The Oprah Magazine)

Over 20 years, as she transforms from confused immigrant to overachieving Westerner to sophisticated European transplant, daughter and father know each other only from their visits: four crucial visits over two decades, each in a different international city. The longer they are apart, the more their lives diverge, but also the more each comes to need the other's wisdom and, ultimately, rescue.

Still children with only the barest notion of the outside world, they have nothing but the family's boat and the little knowledge passed on haphazardly by their mother and father to keep them.

May 1959. From one side of St. Brigid's Island, the mountains of Connemara can be glimpsed on the distant mainland; from the other, the Atlantic stretches as far as the eye can see. This remote settlement, without electricity or even a harbor, has scarcely altered since its namesake saint set up a convent of stone huts centuries ago. Those who live there, including sisters Rose and Emer, are hardy and resourceful, dependent on the sea and each other for survival.

The Dirty War
This is a story of love and hope told in he voice of an unwilling participant in the disappearance of thousands. The junta of '76-'83 rounded up suspected political dissidents who were never tried, but were murdered. The author writes of love with a sensitivity seldom realized by male writers. The women are complex and lovingly brought to life by Loedel. He weaves in and out of reality, seeing and hearing ghosts. This style is reminiscent of two great writers: Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Juno Diaz. Loebel brings his own, fresh perspective to a dark place in Argentine history. I look forward to his second book.

Multiple layers of reality, multiple layers of grief
This is a book about remorse, regret, and guilt. A young man survives a Civil War by going abroad after being discovered to be a spy for the Resistance. When he returns to Argentina, he relives his experiences and imagines what might have been. The book is an exercise in how you might process your past trauma and what the limits of this healing might be.

Can be overly neurotic without advances.story much
Rather like Argentina itself, there's no alternative presented as to how to move on from trauma. The flashbacks to earlier times
can be confusing, but that does demonstrates Argentina's dilemma.

Weird and intriguing
Amazing writing, but I think I would have enjoyed it more with a different narrator- perhaps someone with an accent in English. I am a fluent Spanish speaker, and/but found the very strong accent used to pronounce the words in porteño Spanish a little distracting, coming out of nowhere. Didn’t seem authentic.
