In this gorgeous, dreamlike tale, a young woman named Clarice gives birth on her deathbed to a baby girl also christened Clarice by the bruxa (witch) attending the nearly simultaneous moments of death and birth. Baby Clarice lives her whole life in the span of twenty-four hours, and yet even so com- pressed a lifetime remains impossible to fully contain. In Eduardo Nunes’s debut, precious strands of memory, identity, and desire affirm our place in the ineffable stream of life.
