Plot
The story begins in the late 1980s. The first phase of the novel focuses on the relationship between four young people who, for one reason or another, chose New York as a university destination. Alan Gudman (American), Susana Aisen (Brazilian), Adriano Montana (Italian) and Débora Koheg (Israeli) become inseparable, exploring fascinating Manhattan together. Alan and Susana develop a delicate relationship that becomes a beautiful love story; Adriano and Debora are more intense and passionate and, surrounded by a mysterious and somber force, marry in a troubled way and live in an unhappy relationship. Other everyday and parallel characters appear in this first phase and will be introduced during the course of the novel.
The second phase begins in 2001, with the return of the failing couple, Adriano and Débora, and their son Ricardo to New York, where they resume contact with their old friends Alan and Susana, as well as and their children, Benjamin and Isabella. Débora, however, is envious of Susana, since her relationship with Adriano is at this point merely a facade, while Susana and Alana have a happy marriage. Several apocalyptic prophecies promise to take place in various cities around the world: in Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Jerusalem, and New York, where the fateful September 11 is part of the narrative.
