Tristão Raposo, a young Black man barely surviving on the beaches of Copacabana, meets Isabel Leme, a rich girl just out of a convent school.

The story is inspired by the legend of Tristan and Isolde.

For readers of literary fiction and romances set in Brazil, with the style of one of the great American authors of the twentieth century.
