With a captivating plot, the author guides the reader through labyrinths of forbidden desire and mortification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAs Italo Moriconi notes on the book's blurb: \"João Silvério Trevisan shows that prohibitions feed what they prohibit; they are, in fact, productive [...].
