After the publication of his first novel and given the repercussions generated by it, the author continued the story with The Swallow's Song, a work that although it takes up a part of the previous novel, it has its own imprint.
The story takes place at a time marked by revolutions, revolts and international struggles. And in the midst of this scenario, in a convulsed Argentina shaken by extreme political violence, that of the fifties, a woman tries to survive not only a reality marked by the pain and fear of an increasingly complex country but also the burden and monotony of an unhappy marriage and an empty, aimless life.
The only possible solution will be to go out in search of "her purpose" and she will find it in a revolution that, although it does not belong to her, will give her the meaning she longs for.
It is precisely this path that will lead her through the seeds of the Cuban revolution in the company of "Che" and Fidel Castro.
Historical context
A group of young revolutionaries, calling themselves the "Centennial Generation" and led by Fidel Castro, determined to overthrow Fulgencio Batista (de facto dictator between 1952 and 1959 in Cuba), tried to take over the Moncada Barracks and the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Barracks in 1953, but failed in the attempt. Batista managed to stop this revolt, tried them and sent them to prison. After almost two years of being deprived of their freedom, Fidel Castro and his comrades were released through an amnesty. They did not take long to form the M-26-7, a movement to overthrow the dictator. They headed to Mexico to reorganize and establish connections with allies who were sympathetic to the cause. In 1956, together with a group of guerrillas including Ernesto Guevara, they set sail on the Granma until they ran aground in the mangroves of Playa Las Coloradas, Cuba. Disoriented and dispersed, they could not immediately fulfill their plans and had to take refuge in Sierra Maestra. It is there where The Swallow's Song will reach its climax and a completely unexpected outcome.
