Different Flags by Eugenia Renskoff

Different Flags, a book by Eugenia Renskoff, tells the story of 26-year-old Ani. Ani leaves her comfortable but stifling life in San Francisco to travel to Argentina to comfort her widowed Aunt Esther. Once back in her native country, Ani must face her unexpected feelings of love for Padre Luis, her aunt's young and handsome parish priest. Different Flags is a study of Ani's inner conflict.

Crowd

June 24, 1986: In San Tomas I realized how sad not talking to anybody is. I wanted to go to get away, to think and I felt even worse. I did not need to clear my head as much as I wanted to confide in someone and there was no one. So I rushed home to my Tia and told her I had liked my little outing.

Through

June 8, 1986; All I wanted was for my Tia and I to be in a different place for a few days. But it´s no use. She won´t leave the country. So I may just go to Colonia by myself. Almost 28 years old and I feel 90. That isn´t right and I need to find out why.

June

June 1, 1986: June is such a cold month here in Argentina! Our little trip to Uruguay won´t be much fun. My Tia keeps postponing the date of departure. So glad I haven´t paid for the trip already.

Going

May 29. 1986: I wish my Tia were as excited as I am. We are going to Colonia, a quaint little town in Uruguay that reminds me of San Vicente. My father and I went there once and it was great! Colonia has old fashioned houses and you can leave the door of your house open. Nobody steals anything.

Trip

May 26, 1986: My Tia and I are in need of a change, a change of scenery at the very least. The English lessons don´t pay me very much, but maybe we can get a discounted trip through my uncle´s old union. The sooner we go, the better.
