In the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, one summer in the 1970s, a
family—a husband and wife, their daughter, and their crippled
teenage son Camilo—take in an orphan named Cosme. The boys
unexpectedly fall in love, but an act of violence shatters their
intimate world and changes their lives forever. Decades later, when
Camilo returns to his hometown, he is haunted by his first love and
the long shadow of Brazil’s military dictatorship. At once an
incisive and unforgiving study of Brazilian society and a fluid,
queer coming-of-age story, Victor Heringer’s exhilarating and
moving novel is worthy of Machado de Assis.
