Twenty-year-old Luz, an Argentinian, is on holiday in Madrid with her husband and new born son. But secretly she has a mission - to find her real father. Carlos was a ''desaparecido'' - one of the many political activists in Argentina who literally ''disappeared'' during the country''s brutal military dictatorship in the seventies - while her mother, a political prisoner, was killed trying to flee the country. The infant Luz was secretly adopted by a wealthy couple, unaware of her true origins. Only three people know Luz''s real identity - Eduardo, her ''father'', racked by guilt at this deception; the powerful and corrupt General Alfonso, her ''grandfather'', determined to keep the secret buried; and Miriam, the prostitute who befriended Luz''s real mother in her final days and who returns from exile determined to tell Luz the truth. "My Name Is Light" is a gripping, emotionally charged book, a powerful story about a young girl''s quest to find her identity and to uncover the deadly secrets of one of Argentina''s darkest periods.
