Água funda

Step into the rural heart of Brazil with Ruth Guimarães's debut novel, a vivid portrayal of a community in the Serra da Mantiqueira. This story, spanning from the era of slavery to the 1930s, blends the lives of landowners and local workers with the rich, superstitious language of the caipira people. Experience a narrative that flows like a river, carrying tales of fate and folklore, reminiscent of the magical realism found in Latin American literature.
