Black Music is a thrilling debut featuring unique voices,
where in spite of fear and terror there is still space for friendship,
compassion and even love. Thirteen-year-old Michael, who has just moved to a
well-to-do neighbourhood in Rio de Janeiro, is kidnapped by a gang of young Brazilian
rappers looking for easy money. His life now lies in the hands of his
abductors… This experience will forever change the lives of those involved.
In De cada amor tu
herdarás só o cinismo (“From Every Love Story you'll Only Inherit
Cynicism"), Dino flees from his tedious marriage into the arms of young,
vibrant Adelaide. Together, they plunge into their new exciting life of sex and
rock'n'roll. But soon, the affair becomes an impossible
love story… The vivid descriptions of bohemian Rio de Janeiro interlaced with
references to the music of the 1970s render this an extraordinary novel.
