Description

The Alencar Costa e Oliveira family's story is one of dark inheritance and a peculiar bond. Theirs is a world of inside jokes and carefully crafted phrases, often used to convey the opposite of what they truly mean. Yet, despite their cleverness, each brother has succumbed to acute melancholy, a fate that has haunted this Rio de Janeiro neighbourhood for generations. Victor Heringer's thoughtful exploration of this enigmatic family weaves together the threads of their lives with those of the Gloria neighbourhood. With gentle wisdom, he unravels the complexities of human connection and the power of language in shaping our experiences. This is a nuanced and introspective novel that invites readers to immerse themselves in the intricate world of the Alencar brothers and the community they inhabit.
