Everything is River
Lucy is the city's most sought-after prostitute. Dalva, by contrast, comes from a traditional family background and is the wife of Venâncio, a man with a jealous streak bordering on the pathological.
Lucy and the couple, Dalva and Venâncio, are the protagonists of a love triangle that shies away from the clichés of romance novels and leads us to question, in surprisingly original ways, the true limits of forgiveness, how intense love can become, what values underpin the importance of family and, above all else in this story, how strong or weak the affection between women can be.
In this impressive debut novel, Brazilian writer Carla Madeira employs an uninhibited and straightforward language, with a mature narrative that is at the same time poetic and highly evocative; thus embracing all extremes, without any basic notions of right and wrong, and introducing us to the extraordinary world of strong and weak women, with problems and solutions, with real feelings and desires.
