Rolândia, carved out of the forest in the 1930s, took in cultivated German professionals driven out by the Nazis, people who had to reinvent themselves in the tropics. Forty years on, a boy, his brother and their grandmother spend three days as guests of the ageing Dr Fritz Hinrichsen and his wife Leni. The young narrator takes in everything in a household steeped in memories of a vanished Europe, a way of life about to die out.
