5.0 out of 5 stars
The harsh light of the colonies
Bleak....I'm a devoted fan of Antonio Lobo Antunes and if you have read (and enjoyed) South of Nowhere then you are destined to like this book.How to describe it...imagine lethargy induced by overwhelming humidity and a knowledge that all action is futile-this effectively was the atmosphere which I attributed the novel...it is a rare novel which has the capacity to leave...

Don't read
This book should have ended with the story of the Locusts. The rest of the book seems desconnected and the characters are not developed. It was one of the worse books I have ever read. There is no plot, direction, climax or anything else that holds your interest.
