All Is River - Portable Edition

“Tudo É Rio is a masterpiece and there is no exaggeration in what I claim.”
Martha Medeiros

Sweat, blood, tears, saliva, semen. Everything flows non-stop.

Lucy is the most sought-after prostitute in the city. Dalva, in contrast, comes from a traditional family, and is married to Venâncio, a man consumed by sick jealousy.


Lucy and the couple, Dalva and Venâncio, are the protagonists of a love triangle that deviates from romantic clichés, making us question, in surprisingly original ways, the true limits of forgiveness, how far the intensity of love can go, the values that define the importance of family, and, above all else in this story, how strong or weak affection between women can be.


In this impressive debut novel, Brazilian writer Carla Madeira employs uninhibited and uncomplex language, with a mature yet poetic and evocative narrative; thus incorporating all extremes, without basic notions of right and wrong, presenting us with the extraordinary world of women who are strong, weak, with problems and solutions, with real feelings and desires.
