Unfashionable orphan Dorish works in the kitchen of a sugar planter's estate in northern Brazil. She knows nothing but the master's house and the surrounding sugar cane fields. But one day her peer, the master's daughter, Graça, beautiful, smart and sassy, shows up at the house. Dorish and Graça, girls from different worlds, find themselves bound by loneliness in a remote corner of Brazil, cut off from the rest of the world. In each of them lives music. One has the voice of a songbird, the other composes poetry to the melodies that resound within her. And both dream of immersing themselves in the big world. Music will become their common passion, the basis of their friendship and rivalry, and the only way to escape from the life to which they seem to be condemned. And one day it succeeds. Their intimate, volatile connection paired with music will determine their fate. Spanning several decades, from the 1930s to the present day, moving from a backwoods Brazilian backwater to the glittering lights of dangerous Rio de Janeiro and then to Hollywood, the novel is full of music. Samba, wild and chamber, loud and barely audible, is heard on every page of this book.
