Description

Félix Ventura trades in an unusual commodity - memories. He sells new pasts to people whose futures are secure and who lack only a good lineage to complete their lives. In this gripping murder mystery, the briefest of connections can lead to the forging of entirely new histories. A bookish albino, a beautiful woman, a mysterious foreigner, and a witty talking lizard come together in a tale that darts between tormented past and dream-filled present. Set against the complex history of Angola, this story explores themes of race, truth, and the transformative power of creativity. Beautifully written and always surprising, this novel is a thought-provoking exploration of identity and the human experience.
