Torcido Arado / Crooked Plow


Overview

Torcido arado, narra la vida de dos hermanas, Viviana y Belonia, marcadas ambas por una peculiar tragedia durante la infancia que las une de manera singular. A través de una prosa reposada, pero de latente violencia en la que viven los personajes, Torcido arado recupera la intimidad de las historias de generaciones de habitantes de la región del sertão brasileño, descendientes de la esclavitud. La tragedia que une a las hermanas se proyecta a través del tiempo, casi como una maldición familiar. Crooked Plow tells the story of two sisters, Viviana and Belonia, both marked by a peculiar tragedy in childhood that binds them in a singular way. Through a measured prose--yet one charged with the latent violence in which the characters live--Crooked Plow recovers the intimacy of generational stories from the Brazilian sertão, descendants of slavery. The tragedy that unites the sisters projects itself through time, almost like a family curse.
