A tale as old as time when it comes to small towns and their history that is better left in the shadows. Yet, the setting makes it seem as if nothing bad would ever take place there. This book has left me speechless. All I can say is wow. A read that is, somehow, both intense and lackadaisical. Incredible descriptions of Brazil's forest and its coast. A true depiction of the human spirit and its sometimes meaningless yet necessary quest to know the ending of a certain story. It also paints the familial bonds that connect generations who have never had the pleasure of gracing one another.
