«Primavera con una esquina rota» is the novel by Mario Benedetti, published by Punto de Lectura in hardback (320 pages, in Spanish).
«Primavera con una esquina rota» portrays a Uruguayan society split between dictatorship and exile. Repression and authoritarianism shake human relationships, but the novel holds tenderness and denunciation, and sustains the hope that a new time, though wounded, may prevail over winter.
The novel was originally published in 1982; this edition by Punto de Lectura, with the subtitle «Mutilated Spring», is from 2008.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Latin American novels interested in the Uruguayan dictatorship and exile.
