An epic tale of love and courage, loyalty and adventure, set in a brutal and beautiful country at a pivotal moment in its history

Nine-year-old orphan Dores is working in the kitchen of a sugar plantation in 1930s Brazil when in walks Graca, the thrillingly ill-behaved daughter of a wealthy sugar baron. Born to wildly different worlds, Dores and Graca quickly bond over shared mischief, and then, on a deeper level, over music. It will become their shared passion, the source of their partnership and their rivalry, and the only way out of the life to which each was born. But only one of the two is destined to be a star

Emilia et Luzia, les soeurs orphelines, sont inséparables. Un jour, Luzia est enlevée par les cangaceiros, de terribles bandits. Dans ce Brésil âpre et violent des années 1930, Emilia nourrit toujours un infime espoir : et si Luzia avait survécu ? Se cacherait-elle sous les traits de la Couturière, cette femme réputée impitoyable, devenue chef des mercenaires ?
