About this audiobook
Each life Rosario explores opens onto an array of other lives and raises a multitude of new questions. But as the search for La Tercera becomes increasingly labyrinthine, Rosario's mother and the entire Delgado family emerge in all their dizzying complexity: traitors and heroes, reactionaries and revolutionaries. Meanwhile, another narrative takes shape-of the country's erased history of exploitation and slaughter at the hands of American occupying forces.
La Tercera is Gina Apostol's most ambitious, personal, and encompassing novel: a story about what seems impossible-capturing the truth of the past-and the terrible cost to a family, or a country, that fails to try.
