From the back:

"As a child Ludo was plucked out of the shantytown where he was born and transported to t world of languid, cosseted luxury. Now twenty-seven, he works high above the sprawling metropolis of São Paulo for a vacuous 'communications company'. But this is not his world, and this is not a simple rags-to-riches story: Ludo's destiny moves him around like a chess piece, showing him extremities of opulent excess and abject poverty, taking him to the brink of madness and brutality."

I read Scudamore's debut novel, The Amnesia Clinic, some years ago and enjoyed it a lot. This was at least as good. I like his writing, it's very intense, quietly fervent and darkly comic. He's also very good at awakening the senses with the way he describes sights, sounds, smells and flavours. Excellent!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

You picked this from collectorkerri's 1st Sentence VBB based on this sentence: "It’s early, not yet seven a.m., and once again I’m waking up beside my adoptive sister."

I hope you'll enjoy this book as much as I did!
