Nini

When Nini was a child, her father, tormented by an obsessive disorder, killed her mother and committed suicide—or, as the woman Nini became would later learn, “died by suicide.”

Inspired by a single real-life event in the author’s life—the death of her parents—Nini is a novel that delves into the literary construction of a child growing up in a prejudiced and violent environment, and the effort she makes to understand and overcome it throughout her life.

An exciting debut novel by Ticas Graciosa, who, with an astonishing richness of imagination and surprising skill, fictionalizes a pain that may have long been forgotten, but which has imposed on her a constant learning, almost a luminous mission for life: to warn.

And Nini? Has she understood? Has she forgiven?
