Publisher's Synopsis
Patagonia, 1960. José is on the run. Having fled from his homeland Germany, he has come to South America to continue his work - as a doctor, who is seeking to manipulate genes to create the 'perfect' human race'. In the small village of Chacharramendi he first meets Lilith. She has a growth defect, and the disproportionate size of her features represent all he is trying to exterminate from humankind. Yet, even more fascinating is the fact that her siblings are perfect examples of the Aryan race. The anomaly of her existence fascinates him, and when he discovers her mother is pregnant, if he is not mistaken with twins, the temptation to involve himself in their lives and even interfere with the pregnancy is too much for him to pass up on.
