1. Crooked Plow
A lyrical novel set in rural Bahia that follows two Afro-Brazilian sisters born into generations of servitude on a single estate, whose intimate bond with the land and with each other becomes the center of a story about memory, spiritual tradition, and resistance. As they confront the violence and exploitation of the plantation system, community oral histories and religious practices surface, revealing buried secrets and prompting acts of defiance that reshape their lives. Blending social critique with elements of the sacred and uncanny, the book explores inheritance, belonging, and the cost of reclaiming a stolen past.
