Symphony in White
No Customer Reviews
The two daughters of Afonso Ol mpio and Otac lia raised in rural Brazil in the 1960s and educated in teeming Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s form the counterpoint and central theme linking four generations: the pliant, troubled Clarice and the lovely, strong-willed Maria In s. As other voices join in--those of the men they have married and the ones they have loved; the artist manqu Tom s; villagers and childhood friends; Great-Aunt Berenice in Rio; Eduarda, Maria In s's eighteen-year-old daughter--the cool, white calm of the sisters' universe dissolves in a swirl of dark secrets. The family's silences echo the unspoken atrocities of the military dictatorship holding sway in their country. But after the death of their mother forces Clarice and Maria In s to face their shared past, an old score is settled. In a dramatic and powerful work of great beauty and harmony, Lisboa reveals the abysses of the human soul within a framework as delicate as a butterfly's flight.
