ISBN: 85-7180-333-1
This large novel received an award from the Art Critic’s Association of Sao Paulo as the best fiction of 1993. In this book the author tries a new story line, using elements stored in her memory from childhood. For the first time she writes about the North East of Brazil, describing a sensual and modern place which suffers from the same problems it endured at the turn of the century as well as newer ones such as the corruption practised using the incentives given by the government to combat the draught. The plot describes the violence committed by the strong against the weak. Within the narrative is the story of a man who lives with four women under the same roof. Full of irreverent and delectable language, this book is as full of life and humor as the region it describes. Indeed, it is a book worth reading many times.
