They Don't Recycle Hearts

What would a so-called scoundrel man be able to do, not only to bed several, but also to take a woman's virginity? What would a woman be able to do to conquer or get revenge on a man who supposedly had betrayed her? More: What would a woman be able to do to get revenge on another, considered her friend, who had gotten involved with a so-called man?
Set in a middle-class neighborhood in Rio, so-called post-modern times, times of globalization of polygamy, times of trivialization of relationships and feelings, times of disposable consumption of people as if they were things, times of social networks, but also times of frailties and/or absence of sincere affective ties, the story - a surprising novel - holds us from beginning to end.
