Description
"Epic and lyrical, with the power to both enchant and outrage the reader, this sequel to Crooked Plow shows us that the ghosts of a family's past are often indistinguishable from the shadows of a nation. Masterfully, Itamar Vieira Junior blends the intimate journeys of his characters with faithfully rendered elements of Brazilian life. It's a story permeated by the spectre of colonialism, the scars of which still show, and still ache"-- Provided by publisher.
