Description
Cipriano Algor, an elderly potter, lives with his daughter Marta and her husband Marçal in a small village. His daily routine involves driving Marçal to work at the local complex of shops, apartments, and offices, where he delivers his humble pots and jugs. However, when told not to make any more deliveries due to a preference for plastic, Cipriano finds an alternative way to continue his craft - by making ceramic dolls. The Center, where Marçal works, places an order for hundreds of the dolls, and Cipriano and Marta set to work. But when the order is cancelled, they are left penniless and forced to move into The Center. As they settle into their new life, strange sounds from beneath their apartment begin to emerge, leading to a transformation that will change their lives forever. This novel is both a humorous tale and a triumph, offering an unforgettable reading experience.
