They meet by chance on Copacabana Beach:
Tristao Raposo, a poor black teen from the Rio slums, surviving day
to day on street smarts and the hustle, and Isabel Leme, an
upper-class white girl, treated like a pampered slave by her absent
though very powerful father. Convinced that fate brought them
together, betrayed by families who threaten to tear them apart,
Tristao and Isabel flee to the farthest reaches of Brazil's wild
west -- unaware of the astonishing destiny that awaits them . . .
Spanning twenty-two years, from the mid-sixties to the late
eighties, BRAZIL surprises and embraces the reader with its
celebration of passion, loyalty, and New World innocence. "A tour
de force . . . Spectacular." -- Time "Updike's novel, as tender as
it is erotic, becomes a magnificently wrought love story . . . .
Beautifully written." -- Detroit Free Press "From the Paperback
edition."
