520    "New York, 1998. Santiago Larrea, a wealthy Argentine 
       diplomat, is holding court alongside his wife, Lila, and 
       their daughter, Paloma, a college student and budding 
       jewelry designer, at their annual summer polo match and 
       soiree. All seems perfect in the Larreas' world-until an 
       unexpected party guest from Santiago's university days 
       shakes his usually unflappable demeanor. The woman's 
       cryptic comments spark Paloma's curiosity about her 
       father's past, of which she knows little. When the family 
       travels to Buenos Aires for Santiago's UN ambassadorial 
       appointment, Paloma is determined to learn more about his 
       life in the years leading up to the military dictatorship 
       of 1976. With the help of a local university student, 
       Franco Bonetti, an activist member of H.I.J.O.S-a group 
       whose members are the children of the Desaparecidos, or 
       the "Disappeared," men and women who were forcibly 
       disappeared by the state during Argentina's "Dirty War"-
       Paloma unleashes a chain of events that not only leads her
       to question her family and her identity, but also puts her
       life in danger. In compelling fashion, On a Night of a 
       Thousand Stars speaks to relationships, morality, and 
       identity during a brutal period in Argentinian history, 
       and the understanding-and redemption-people crave in the 
       face of unspeakable tragedy"--|cProvided by publisher.
