520 "From the extraordinary Colombian French politician and
activist Ingrid Betancourt, a stunning debut novel about
freedom and fate. Set against the backdrop of Argentina's
Dirty War and infused with magical realism, The Blue Line
is a breathtaking story of love and betrayal by one of the
world's most renowned writers and activists. Ingrid
Betancourt, author of the New York Times bestselling
memoir Even Silence Has an End, draws on history and
personal experience in this deeply felt portrait of a
woman coming of age as her country falls deeper and deeper
into chaos. Buenos Aires, the 1970s. Julia inherits from
her grandmother a gift, precious and burdensome. Sometimes
visions appear before her eyes, mysterious and terrible
apparitions from the future, seen from the perspective of
others. From the age of five, Julia must intervene to
prevent horrific events. In fact, as her grandmother tells
her, it is her duty to do so--otherwise she will lose her
gift. At fifteen, Julia falls in love with Theo, a
handsome revolutionary four years her senior. Their lives
are turned upside down when Juan Peron, the former
president and military dictator, returns to Argentina.
Confronted by the realities of military dictatorship,
Julia and Theo become Montoneros sympathizers and radical
idealists, equally fascinated by Jesus Christ and Che
Guevara. Captured by death squadrons, they somehow manage
to escape. In this remarkable novel, Betancourt, an
activist who spent more than six years held hostage by the
FARC in the depths of Colombian jungle, returns to many of
the themes of Even Silence Has an End. The Blue Line is a
story centered on the consequences of oppression,
collective subservience, and individual courage, and, most
of all, the notion that belief in the future of humanity
is an act of faith most beautiful and deserving. "--
