Hades, Argentina | 
so-soFirst fiction I have read about the military dictatorship. It was dark and partly imaginary, with several of the characters murdered in the war (which you figure out along the way). Didn‘t love it but skimmed all the way to the end.

pickTomás returns to Argentina for the first time 10 years after fleeing during revolution to see a dear friend who is dying. He encounters there the ghosts of his past. There‘s a magical realism element here that didn‘t work for me (even though I often like MR), but overall his story during revolutionary times is compelling and devastating, so I‘m giving this a pick.
