1. 1. A Cabeça Do Santo

   

   Set in a small town in northeastern Brazil, the novel follows the repercussions of the theft of a saint’s head from the local church: the missing relic unsettles family ties, awakens old loves and rivalries, and forces neighbors to reckon with the uneasy mix of Catholic devotion and Afro-Brazilian beliefs that shapes their lives. Told with sly humor and touches of magical realism, the story weaves together grief, desire and superstition as secrets surface and characters seek unexpected forms of redemption.
