Summary:  "Expatriados, separados no tempo e na geografia, Paulo e Barbara compartilham, além da experiência do exílio, o estranhamento pela perda de suas identidades, o isolamento e a sensação de interrupção do curso normal de suas vidas. Diferentes motivos os levam ao estrangeiro. Em 1970, Paulo, perseguido pela ditadura militar, é preso, torturado e abandonado sem documentação na fronteira, de onde segue para o Chile e depois para a Suécia. Barbara, com uma identidade falsa, deixa o país para trás em 1991 durante o governo Collor , fugindo de um rastro de violência, e se instala nos Estados Unidos como imigrante ilegal. Em seu terceiro romance, Edney Silvestre cria um vigoroso retrato das transformações que ocorreram no país e no mundo nos últimos quarenta anos, com uma trama que viaja pelo Chile, Suécia, Estados Unidos, França e Iraque. O autor se vale, com sensibilidade, de sua experiência de onze anos como correspondente baseado em Nova York para revelar o universo dos imigrantes e, ao mesmo tempo, recriar de forma contundente um Brasil visto a distância." -- goodreads.com "Paulo e Barbara are Brazilian expatriates, separated in time and geography, sharing the experience of exile, estrangement by the loss of their identity, isolation and the interruption of the normal course of their lives. Different reasons lead them abroad. In 1970, Paulo, pursued by the military dictatorship, arrested, tortured and abandoned without documentation at the border, went to Chile and then to Sweden. Barbara leaves the country in 1991 with a false identity - during the Collor government - running away from violence, and settles in the United States as an illegal immigrant. In his third novel, Edney Silvestre creates a powerful picture of the changes that occurred in the country and the world in the last forty years, with a plot that travels through Chile, Sweden, United States, France and Iraq. The author goes with sensitivity, his eleven-year experience as a correspondent based in New York, to reveal the universe of immigrants and forcefully recreate a Brazil seen from a distance." -- cataloger's translation of goodreads.com Genre:  Portuguese fiction.
