Summary

Sandra Benitez received international acclaim for her first two novels: A Place Where the Sea Remembers and Bitter Grounds. Now she returns with an unforgettable tale of life in war-torn El Salvador. The Weight of All Things, like Kosinskis The Painted Bird, illuminates and makes particular the horrors that people at war can inflict on a young boy. More than any report of events in El Salvador, the story of Nicolas Veras and his terrible odyssey in a war torn country will stay with you.
