Benjamim, a young man on the cusp of fatherhood, discovers a
disturbing family secret: before his father was born, his paternal
grandfather had a child with Benjamim's mother. With both men dead,
Benjamim turns to three of their confidantes to piece together his
family history: Haroldo, his grandfather's best friend; Isabel, his
grandmother; and Raul, a friend from his father's youth. Through
their conflicting testimonies, full of blind spots and
contradictions, Benjamim will gradually learn of the secrets and
conflicts that shattered his wealthy family; of his father's search
for meaning in the poverty of the backlands, and of his slide into
madness. In prose of great subtlety and penetrating insight,
Beatriz Bracher builds an indelible portrait of a family and a
society in decay.
