Days of Bossa Nova, Paperback/Ines Rodrigues

Felipe Navarra rises from poverty to conquer SAo Paulo, Brazil, the city he loves. He becomes a radio celebrity in the age of Bossa Nova, classic sambas, and radionovelas. On his way to fame and fortune, he falls into a heartbreaking love triangle with his childhood sweetheart and sells his soul to the dark dictatorship that took over Brazil from 1964 to 1985. His rise runs parallel with the city's decent into crime, where the gap between rich and poor gets dangerously wide and no one is really safe...
