Description
A young Brazilian man, Ciccio, stumbles upon a cryptic letter that suggests his father may have had another son in Germany—an unsettling clue that ignites a lifelong quest for answers. As he follows fragments of language, memory, and rumor across borders and generations, Ciccio’s search becomes both a coming-of-age journey and a reckoning with the stories families tell to survive. Blending dark humor with historical unease, the novel explores identity, obsession, and the moral weight of history—especially the shadows cast by war-torn Europe. Written with Chico Buarque’s distinctive lyrical intelligence and imaginative edge, this fiction-driven reconstruction invites readers to consider how truth can be both pursued and endlessly deferred.
