Menino De Engenho by José Lins Do Rego
A semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale that follows a boy raised on a northeastern Brazilian sugarcane estate, where the rhythms of harvest, family rivalries and the strict social hierarchy shape his childhood; through vivid scenes of work, violence, secrecy and first desires he watches the plantation’s traditions and contradictions, losing innocence as he learns the moral complexities and slow decline of the rural world around him.
