Dança de Enganos

This time the story belongs to Martim's mother. Estranged from her boy in the years of repression, Lina sits down to write, recalling her brother Dácio, her mother Ondina, Delinha, the maid who is also her confidante, and the painter Leonardo, figures who drift in and out like shapes in a dream. Martim himself, at the centre of the two earlier volumes, is offstage, yet he haunts every line she writes.
