Set against the seductive world of 1960s Rio de Janeiro, a perfect debut novel about family secrets, divided loyalties, and what we're ready to do to save ourselves. This mesmerizing first novel follows a attractive family as they prepare to leave the seeming paradise of Brazil for Canada in the wake to the mysterious disappearance - and presumed drowning - of the eldest daughter a year earlier. As the novel moves back and forth between the members of the Maurer family, our company is taken in to the heart of a family group whose beauty and charm belie a more troubling truth. We meet the family's amazing and charismatic dad, whose bipolar extremes are becoming increasingly troubling; his long-suffering wife, who once possessed a brief affair that demonstrates to have shattering outcomes for the family she swore to safeguard; their two remaining daughters, both on the brink of understanding the darker currents that run in their once-proud family; and the lost daughter herself, a beautiful young woman undone by her own grand delusions. Taking listeners from the gold seashores of Rio to the poverty of its sportfishing villages, from the glamour of the renowned Copacabana Golf club to the austerity of an remote control convent, this revelatory novel takes us in to the soul of a family group already surviving in the shadow of loss and today poised to leave behind everything they've ever known, only if they will make peace with days gone by.
