Flesh and Bone and Water
Autor Luiza Saumaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 apr 2018
The letter prompts André to remember the days of his youth - torrid afternoons on Ipanema beach with his listless teenage friends, parties in elegant Rio apartments, his after-school job at his father's plastic surgery practice - and, above all, his secret infatuation with the daughter of his family's maid, the intoxicating Luana. Unable to resist the pull of the letter, André embarks on a journey back to Brazil to rediscover his past.

Luiza Sauma's debut novel is that rare thing: a completely absorbing, brilliantly-designed, literary work.Her ability to cut across time and continents and to inhabit the physical and inner life of both a young Brazilian and that same man in middle-age is as dazzling as the novel's plot. The reveal, when it comes, is astonishing-sensuous, shocking, and completely earned.
Her writing is beautiful.I am sure I'll see her name on the spine of many a novel to come
Sauma's writing is sensual and evocative.Flesh and Bone and Wateris a powerful depiction of sexual attraction and long lost loves; a haunting weave of Rio, the Amazon and present-day London
Luiza Sauma's first novel,Flesh and Bone and Water, islush and evocative. The secret at the center came as a shocking surprise, and the characters were as haunted as I was. Sip a caipirinha and enjoy
I devoured this stunning debut by Luiza Sauma. An immersive, heartbreaking coming of age story.Beg, borrow or steal a copy
Teenage love is well documented, but Sauma finds some interesting things to say about it in her debut novel... Sauma convincingly evokes the cacophony of Rio.Moving... it offers an indelible glimpses into Brazil's stratified society
A vivid debut novel
Sauma's excellent prose is thoroughly consuming, bouncing between continents and eras to create a complicated tale of class, ancestry, and love in which happy endings are difficult to find but hope remains.
A sensuous, achingly poignant and beautifully observed exploration of both adolescence and a midlife crisis.
[A] quiet, inwardly focused, fast-moving, and well-plotted debut...Brazilian-born Sauma depicts her and her protagonist's vast, beguiling homeland with sweltering realism.
Brazil is marvellously conjured: full of hot, smoky sunrises and manioc pancakes, chilled coconut milk and "the salty violence of Ipanema"
