Imparting comfort while reading the names of missing people to her war-ravaged listeners, radio host Norma finds her life irrevocably changed when a young boy from a remote jungle village provides a connection to her long-missing husband.
"Norma conduce el programa más exitoso de la radio. Ella lee los nombres de los desaparecidos y, al hacerlo, reúne a familias fracturadas. O sea, intenta recomponer lo que la violencia ha destruido. Pero Norma también es una víctima de la guerra: hace años que Rey, su esposo, no regresa a casa y ella está atrapada por las incertidumbres. Aparece entonces Víctor, un niño de la selva portando una lista de nombres, en la que Norma encontrará indicios sobre el destino de su esposo"--p. [4] of cover.

Work Description
The powerful and searing novel of three lives fractured by a civil war For ten years, Norma has been the voice of consolation for a people broken by violence. She hosts Lost City Radio, the most popular program in their nameless South American country, gripped in the aftermath of war. Every week, the Indians in the mountains and the poor from the barrios listen as she reads the names of those who have gone missing, those whom the furiously expanding city has swallowed. Loved ones are reunited and the lost are found. Each week, she returns to the airwaves while hiding her own personal loss: her husband disappeared at the end of the war. But the life she has become accustomed to is forever changed when a young boy arrives from the jungle and provides a clue to the fate of her long-missing husband.
