Meer over het boek

The story revolves around Senhor da Silva Araújo, a seemingly upright businessman in Cape Verde known for his success and strict adherence to propriety. However, his lengthy Last Will and Testament reveals a complex life filled with self-deception, unfulfilled desires, and hidden truths, including shady dealings and an illegitimate child. As the will is read, the perception of Araújo shifts from a self-important figure to a deeply human and tragic character, navigating the fine line between farce and tragedy in a richly woven narrative.
