Equador by Gonçalo M. Tavares
Set in the early 20th century, this novel explores the complex dynamics of colonialism and power through the eyes of a Portuguese governor sent to São Tomé and Príncipe. Tasked with investigating the alleged mistreatment of workers on cocoa plantations, he grapples with moral dilemmas and the seductive allure of authority. As he delves deeper into the island's social fabric, he confronts the harsh realities of exploitation and the blurred lines between right and wrong, ultimately questioning his own role in the perpetuation of systemic injustice.
