All vices

MAITÊ PROENÇA ADDRESSES LOVE IN MATURE AGE IN A CURRENT AND INTENSE NOVEL. Stella, a beautiful and mature actress and sculptor, falls in love with João, a fifty-something advertising executive, ugly and addicted to prescription drugs. From this encounter, Maitê Proença wrote the beautiful plot of *Todo Vices*. This unlikely passion becomes a portrait of a type of relationship increasingly common in these days when social media has replaced deep contact. Alternating between Stella and João's perspectives, Maitê describes a love affair that doesn't break the surface, in which text messages replace dialogue. In addition to a profound analysis of the present moment, she manages to inject the plot with a thriller flavor. In her second novel, writer Maitê shows that she's here in literature to stay.
