Oito do Sete

The eighth of July, the eighth day of the seventh month, is the date around which the story turns. It reaches the reader in fragments, told in turn by four voices: Magda and Glória, two women in love, the angel Serafim, and Rome itself. Both women also become involved with men, Rick and Jonas, and the book builds its own imagery of bodies and feeling: women are cisterns and earth, men are towers and boats, and emotion is the sea and its waves.
