NOVEMBER: A Novel

November 1989 and society in El Salvador is immersed in the horror of civil war. On a fateful November dawn, a group of armed men entered the Universidad Católica and murdered six Jesuit priests with their housekeeper and her daughter in cold blood. Survivor of the massacre Father Tojeira is forced to take the reins of control in the sinister days following the attack, desperate to uncover the truth behind the terrible slaughter and discover who these assassins are. The only witness however has been silenced by the authorities. Inspired by the tragic events that shook Latin America, November is a moving and unsettling novel about fear, hate and impunity and the first book to cast some light on the crime that was never solved, and an attempt to speak out, as the murdered Jesuits attempted to do, in the defence of the disadvantaged. 293pp, paperback.
