520    "In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory 
       itself-shadowed and luminous at once--we read the story of
       fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel.
       In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in 
       London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them 
       in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They 
       suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more 
       convinced and less concerned as they come to know his 
       eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a 
       shared history of unspecified service during the war, all 
       of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and 
       educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But
       are they really what and who they claim to be? And what 
       does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after 
       months of silence without their father, explaining nothing,
       excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to
       uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that 
       time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection,
       and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from 
       one of the great writers of our time."--|cPublisher's 
       description. 
520    "El relato que hace Nathaniel de su infancia y 
       adolescencia tras la sospechosa partida de sus padres 
       hacia Singapur está compuesto por los destellos, los 
       restos y los recuerdos ensamblados de una época en la que,
       junto a su hermana, entra en contacto con un pequeño grupo
       de personajes de dudosa procedencia e intenciones poco 
       claras. Quizá criminales, quizá agentes políticos, todos 
       ellos conforman una incierta y problemática red de 
       relaciones. El peso grave de la guerra, la omnipresencia 
       de las ausencias familiares y su influencia sobre estas 
       vidas subterráneas cobran aquí un efecto casi mágico que 
       hacen que en Luz de guerra también la oscuridad brille."--
