Blending suspense, tragedy, and profound reflection on the human soul, Sabino's debut novel provides an unusual twist on a mystery story. We know he did it, but we don't know why. From the simple and dramatic words of the title, echoed in the first line, the book begins with the narrator discussing his life with his therapist.
The prose is bold and stark as the author explores what would drive someone to patricide. Whilst the plot holds us in absolute suspense, unable to second-guess the narrator's next direction, Sabino articulates complex themes of religion, philosophy, and literature, seeking to investigate the nature of evil.
A bestseller in Brazil, highly praised by the critics, rights in this extraordinary, powerful, unique and immensely readable novel have been snapped up in various countries already.
