Description: "Focuses on a woman who dances her sorrows away and feeds a love story in her dreams, novel depicts Syrian and Lebanese immigrants in their first decades of adjustment to life in São Paulo. Original narrative structure is characterized by short chapters and a sequence of words apparently disconnected from main story, which refers to a woman recalling her Oriental heritage and reinventing the present in order to survive it"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
