This is another brillant human portrayal by this very talented Portuguese writer. He captures the essence of a person's life that may speak to multitudes of us out there. It is another raw and exposing rip into the layers of humanity that many of us would rather not see revealed. His writing is precise and poignant and forever filled with unexpected occurrences. Take the time to read this work and be in a world created by a Master Wordsmith.

It's a drama, it's a mystery, it's a page-turning story about what obsession and lonliness can do to a human being, left to his or her own devices. This is a rare insightful, read and one you will not soon forget.

Had a very hard time reading this, the style was difficult for me to follow. Other reviewers loved this book, I can't say that I did.
