My father's ghost is climbing in the rain

Pron, Patricio 1975- (Author). Lethem, Mara. (Added Author). Ocampo, Ramon de. (Narrator).

Summary: A young writer, living abroad, returns home to his native Argentina to say goodbye to his dying father. In his parents' house, he finds a cache of documents--articles, maps, photographs--and unwittingly begins to unearth his father's obsession with the disappearance of a local man. Suddenly he comes face to face with the ghosts of Argentina's dark political past and long-forgotten memories of his family's resistance against an oppressive military regime. Told through the fragments of the narrator's investigation as he pieces together not only a portrait of his father but also the legacy of an entire generation.
