Despite the hardships they are force to endure, it is their deep-rooted sense of community and positive outlook which protects them from the violent chaos that rules Brazil's two major metropoles. Suddenly a stranger called, Gringa enters this small world, and everything starts to change: Maria has disappeared, one-eyed Tonio has stopped singing and Mama Lourdes foresees nothing but tragedy. One by one, the inhabitants of the Square, tired of their provincial existence and dazzled by the urban glamour portrayed on their favourite soap opera, depart for the cities of Rio and Sao Paulo. However, the-reality of life in the cities' favelas is a bitter disappointment - a tough game of survival guaranteed to harden even the most tender of hearts."--BOOK JACKET.
