Summary:
"In a Rio de Janeiro suburb in the 1970s, a family -- the parents, their daughter, and crippled teenage son Camilo -- take in an orphan named Cosme. The teen boys unexpectedly fall in
love
, but their intimate world is shattered when Cosme is killed by a neighbor in a brutal hate crime. Decades later, Camilo returns to his hometown, still haunted by this violence and the long shadow of Brazil's military dictatorship. A fluid, queer coming-of-age story as well as an incisive and unforgiving exploration of Brazilian society and politics, Victor Heringer's moving novel is worthy of Machado de Assis"--Provided by publisher.
