Mistura de ficção e eventos históricos, o livro de Wagner G. Barreira dá voz ao narrador personagem ao relatar a travessia do Atlântico, a acusação de ter assassinado o amigo, a prisão em Santos, a convivência com infectados pelo vírus, a fuga para São Paulo e as dificuldades de adaptação na cidade em construção pelas mãos de imigrantes de todo o mundo.

La sua vita si divide fra il lavoro di giornalista e la sua lotta per il suffragio femminile, una battaglia che condivide con Cecilia, che di professione è insegnante.
