Foreword

In the forecourt of a petrol station outside of Buenos Aires, a father says goodbye to his son: 'Kamchatka,' he whispers softly into his ear. And then they part, forever.

Kamchatka is a heartbreaking adventure story. Set in Argentina during the bloody coup d'etat of 1976, it tells an entirely enchanting story of a young boy trying to make sense of a world during a time of extraordinary upheaval.
