"It wasn't the way he said it. It was the look, barely a moment, sideways. His blood froze. By a blink of an eye he was not the refined and aristocratic gentleman who had her dazzled. It was the otherthe most sadistic killer of all timewho made her retrace her steps and walk away into the woods without thinking which way she was going."
In the summer of 1959, a German doctor meets an Argentine family in the most desolate region of Patagonia. The traveler is none other than Josef Mengele. This family revives in him all the obsessions related to purity and perfection. Especially Lilith, a teenager with a body too small for her age. The fascination is mutual: in full sexual awakening, Lilith feels a disturbing attraction to this stranger.
This amazing novel by Lucía Puenzo boldly combines historical references to highly original modern fiction. His insightful look at the less visible folds of personality and his attention to detail and tonalities of everyday life join in Wakolda to the construction of a plot that traps the reader in a climate as captivating as it is sinister.
