For various reasons, among them the war in eastern Ukraine, the hero of the novel finds himself at the far western edge of Europe, where he is accidentally drawn into a tragic family history that began nearly fifty years ago. The book has plenty of rain and wine, love and betrayal, recklessness and cowardice, Ukrainian migrant workers and Portuguese revolutionaries. Its real protagonist, though, is Lisbon, a bright and friendly city that is impossible not to love but that hides many secrets from outsiders.
