A sparkling tale of duplicity from one of Brazil's greatest living writers Maria BruÌlia Munhoz thought settling down with a well-off husband in a house of her own would inaugurate a life of freedom and contentment, but she soon discovered married life to be a series of tiresome formalities. And little happened with her husband, a much older judge, once the lights went out. Now the widowed Maria lives alone in her apartment in SoÌ Paulo, her only companions the scheming nephew of her deceased husband, JulioÌ, and a loyal maid. Family Heirlooms is a searingly brilliant novella from one of Brazil's modern masters and winner of the Jabuti Prize, finally published in English more than two decades after its original Portuguese publication.
