Pelo Fundo da Agulha

Totonhim has stopped working, lost his marriage, his children's company and his closest friend. In bed in the big city he sifts his memories, picturing his aged mother, who can still thread a needle unaided, and seeing his past as if through its eye. He dwells on his years in São Paulo and on the many people he knew who killed themselves, and longs for Junco, the village in Bahia he left, which no longer exists as he remembers it. It closes a trilogy about a man caught between two worlds.
