These five adventure stories, evocative of Argentina's colorful history, are written in the first person and set during leap years. With humor and pathos, the author conveys how the shadow of the Holocaust, the feminist movement, the ambivalent legacies of Evita, and neocolonialism touched her youth in her native country.
