The unexpected provocation, coming from a stranger, triggers a succession of encounters, marked by growing intimacy, which gradually reveal their stories. With alternating voices, the strength of Olívia's objective, descriptive, and linear discourse contrasts with Biá's scattered notes, whose fragments of an already flawed and unreliable memory lead to a turning point in the plot that will reveal the events that shaped each of their pasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Foreword by Luiz Antonio de Assis Brasil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEve\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e(264 pages)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eDevastated by a loveless marriage, Vedina, in a moment of loss of control, abandons her son on the street. Immediately regretful, upon returning to the place where she left him, he is no longer there. From this initial trauma, the narrative shows us the lives of twins Cain and Abel, as well as those of Vedina and Veneza, marked by fate and separation. Told in two time periods—the days following the boy's abandonment on the street and the days before it—the novel advances like two waves, which then collide and illuminate the entire human landscape set in motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Foreword by Tatiana Salem Levy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176494317820,"sku":"9788501922267","price":249.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/5afa1d6be4e462f852eec93270c78bfb.jpg?v=1778323736","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/box-carla-madeira-obra-reunida","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
