    The setting of this novel is an unnamed South American country. Since the author is from Chile, we can infer that the author wants us to think of Chile.

    See the eNotes article on the historical context of this novel for more information.

    Around the pages from 40 and up, there's a mention of a city called Lima. Lima is in peru. So I think its in peru, because there is a city in peru if am not mistaken the capital, Lima.
