Arada torta

In the depths of Salvador de Bahía, Brazil, sisters Bibiana and Belonísia find a mysterious old knife in the suitcase kept under their grandmother's bed. Then an accident occurs that will link them in such a way that one will have to be the voice of the other. With a musical style and a well-rounded plot, the novel tells the story of two sisters and their relationship with their father, a renowned leader and healer in the fields of jarê, and their midwife mother. Women, race and land are issues that Itamar Vieira Junior addresses with intelligence, since, despite the fact that this is a story from the 20th century, its echoes reverberate in our present.
