The Memory Stones by Caroline Brothers

Buenos Aires. 1976. In the heat of summer, the Ferrero family escapes to Tigre. Osvaldo, a doctor, and his wife Yolanda, gather with their daughters, Julieta who lives in Miami, and Graciela nineteen who is madly in love with her fiance, Jose. Those days will be the last the family ever spends together. On their return to Buenos Aires, the Argentine military stages a coup. Friends and colleagues disappear overnight and Osvaldo is forced to flee to Europe. When Jose is abducted, Graciela goes into hiding, then vanishes in turn. Osvaldo can only witness the disintegration of his family from afar, while Yolanda fights on the ground for some trace of their beloved daughter. Soon she realises they may be fighting for an unknown grandchild as well. This book tells the story of the Disappeared, thousands of Argentinians who fell victim to the violence of the period.
