EDWARD STANTON
FRAIL BLOOD
Love, power, a country's deepest wound
Set in the heart of Buenos Aires, Frail Blood unfolds in the turbulent aftermath of Argentina’s ruthless civil war and the oppressive military regime of the 1970s and 80s.
The novel tells the story of a love strong enough to shatter crystal, a secret so perverse that it destroys a family, crimes so far-ranging that they convulse a nation.
Edward Stanton is the award-winning author of fourteen books. Some of them have been translated into Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. He has also published fiction, poetry, essays and translations in journals throughout the U.S., Latin America and Europe.
