Sinopse

New book from the bestselling author of The House of Seven Women. On a ranch in rural Uruguay in the late 1930s, Eva, a girl from a very simple family raised by her strict grandmother, enjoys playing with tarot cards, though she never truly gets anything right. Until one day, on a hot summer afternoon, she sees the image of a blond boy, on a freezing winter day far away. Jósik Tatar lives an ordinary life in the small village of Terebin, Poland. Jósik is an only child and deeply attached to his grandfather, Professor Michael Wisochy, a bookworm who transformed his small home into a library, immersing himself in the prose of Conrad, Tolstoy, Henry James, Shakespeare, and other literary greats. Since childhood, Jósik has loved books and spent entire afternoons at his grandfather's house, lost in novels and fantastical adventures. When World War II breaks out and Poland is invaded by the Nazis, Jósik and Michael's peaceful life is brutally interrupted—forcing the boy to sell his grandfather's beloved books to survive—and then a tragic turn of events changes their future forever. On the other side of the world, Eva, who began to follow Jósik's misfortunes in the arcana without being able to help him, grows up like him, also fighting to change her own destiny, marked by lack of perspective and sadness. Together, Eva and Jósik tell us this fable about war, literature and love.
