SANTA EVITA by Tomas Eloy Mart
A novel about the death of Eva Peron. Faced with losing her, her husband decided to make her immortal by having her preserved and put on display as Saint Evita. Hidden, hijacked, replicated, buried and resurrected, her body became a focus for mystical adoration as well as for carnal love.
