a novel
Geovani Martins ; translated from the Portuguese by Julia Sanches
Book - 2025

"Life on the morro, the hill, is good. Five young people--the brothers Washington and Wesley and their friends Douglas, Murilo, and Biel--live close to Rocinha's main avenue, Via Ápia, just a quick bus ride from the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. But the rhythms of their lives stutter and scratch when Brazil's militarized police storm Rocinha as part of 'pacification' efforts ahead of the upcoming World Cup and an influx of international tourists. Via Ápia charts the expectant anxiousness before the police's invasion, the chaos born from their occupation of the hill, and the aftermath of their silent withdrawal from the favela after one year."--
