Branco como o arco-íris

"From simple things such as the beauty of fog floating over a pond and memories of a childhood spent away from Brazil, narrative action advances into a densely filled analysis of intricate relationships with women ranging from friends to strangers to paramours, some framed by narrator's attempts to recreate a new love from the ashes of old ones. Novel also deals with feelings of a man immersed in questions rooted in the realization that his father, his old buddy, is sinking into the fog of Alzheimer's disease"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
