Tropicália

Author: Harold Rogers

Format: Paperback

‘A bacchanal of familial entanglements, as beautiful as it is brutal’

Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of The Many Daughters of Afong Moy

Daniel Cunha has a lot on his mind. He got dumped by his pregnant girlfriend, his grandfather just dropped dead, and on the anniversary of the raid that doomed his drug-dealing aunt and uncle, his mother makes her unwanted return to Brazil.

Misfortune, however, is a Cunha family affair, and no generation is spared. As New Year’s Eve nears, old secrets are brought to light and the Cunha family hurtles toward an irrevocable breaking point: a fire, a knife, and a death on the sands of Copacabana Beach.

‘One of the most marvellous books I’ve read in years’ — Rivka Galchen, author of Atmospheric Disturbances
