Lucy is the town's most deviant and sought-after whore, and proud of it. Lusted after by everyone she meets, there is only one man who has captured her attention-Venâncio, a somber, ever-suffering carpenter with a dark secret. Inconveniently, Venâncio is still married to Dalva, his teenage sweetheart. The couple was once a shining example of matrimony to all their neighbors-until a tragedy left them estranged in their own home. Driven mad by her desire for Venâncio and obsession with Dalva, Lucy makes a decision that forever intertwines their three lives. Masterfully translated by Alison Entrekin, It's All River is a taut, provocative allegory of desire and forgiveness-and a stunning introduction to one of Brazil's most daring literary voices.
