Fé no Inferno

Cláudio, who knows from experience what belonging to a minority means, begins nursing the elderly Domingos in an affluent part of the city as a divisive election approaches. Through his employer, and through a memoir he reads, he discovers the destruction of the Armenians during the First World War, and wonders whether Domingos lived through it himself, which would make keeping him alive all the more urgent. The book moves back and forth between 1915 and 2017, drawing on history and Armenian folk tales.
