Naqueles Morros, Depois da Chuva

The story of how Luís de Assis Mascarenhas, sent from Portugal to govern São Paulo and the Goiás mines, tried to build a colony out of a few gold camps in the cerrado is told by an unusual witness: a sentry with no interest in women, who learned his watchfulness from a pet boa called Messalina. Opening a projected trilogy on the settling of Goiás, it blends documented history with invention and with the storytelling voice of the region's prospectors.
