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.

Nostalgia Time

March 28, 1987: I can't help it. I feel a little bit sentimental about the old days. When I look back to the times in San Francisco, I feel very nostalgic. Could I have been as naive and ignorant as I was? I can't believe it, but I was. The old Ani didn't know anything, and maybe she felt better that way. The old Ani was cushioned by her lack of knowledge. Our life here in Argentina won't allow me to forget our harshness, to look the other way and pretend it doesn't exist.
