A Tirania do Amor

Otavio Espinhosa's vow sounds absurd, but it comes out of real trouble: a dead marriage, an activist son who shuts him out, a university career that ended in disgrace, and a strange spell chasing riches by writing self-improvement books. Now his finance firm looks set to sack him, and an inquiry into a fraud in which he might have had a hand gradually comes to light. He trusts in numbers and logic to order his thoughts, only to learn that reason cannot master life, and that he is not as coolly rational as he thought.
