“Neste romance vigoroso, são vários os começos na vida das personagens, estas em vertigem num Brasil que se acidente sempre que amanhece”

Andréa Del Fuego

“O repórter policial escrever a crônica cotidiana dos sonhos estraçalhados e esperanças sem porvir. Como ele sobrevive a tantas histórias de dor, sangue e ruínas? Essa pergunta perturbadora ressona no novo romance, apaixonante e pungente, de Martha Batalha”

Mário Magalhães

 

Separar comédia e tragédia nesse romance de Martha Batalha é tão impossível quanto traçar fronteiras nítidas entre morro e asfalto ou entre mar e floresta, glória e decadência, doce e amargo, no Rio de Janeiro que é seu personagem principal”

Sérgio Rodrigues
