“It revealed what it was hiding: a delicate white flower with overlapping petals and yellow core. It was a mandacaru flower, a species of cactus quite common in the sertão. This type of flower only bloomed at night, starting to wither at dawn. She symbolized our romance, our night outs, and the fact that Tomaz always left before sunrise. He tucked it behind my ear, standing out amid my black curls.” Anita is begrudgingly engaged to a disgusting older man, out of sheer interest for her parents. The young woman is desperate with the approach of forced marriage and tries in every way to get rid of this burden. What the girl's parents don't know is that a new love has blossomed in the backlands. Tomaz, one of the bandits of Capitão Januário's gang, definitely doesn't fit the model of the “perfect son-in-law” that his parents shaped. He ends up stealing the colonel's most precious possession: the heart of his daughter Anita. Faced with an unexpected request, she is forced to make difficult choices that will completely change her life. Like the Mandacaru Flower, Anita will also face its thorns.

“O cangaço é parte O cangaço é parte da história do Brasil, mais ainda do Nordeste. Ao contrário dos que muitos pensam, os cangaceiros não eram só mercenários de fato; alguns grupos tinham um espírito mais "Robin Hood", se bem que eu, pessoalmente, ainda condeno essas atitudes de roubar de alguém para dar aos pobres por uma simples palavra: roubar, mas isso não vem ao caso. Enfim, essa história sensacional dessa autora maravilhosa retrata bem a realidade nordestina da época, os costumes, o linguajar, as ações, as relações, os estereótipos, enfim, o modo de ser. Também retrata bem a realidade do cangaço, me dando a certeza que a autora, Luh Castellan, pesquisou muito para fazer essa bela história, o que é muito bom. O romance é excelente, assim como a ação na história. Como um bom nordestino, me sinto orgulhoso em ver a maestria nos detalhes da nossa antiga realidade, tendo em vista que alguns desses costumes perduram até hoje. A autora também cumpre uma importante missão de situar o leitor nas expressões características, oferecendo-nos um glossário à cada capítulo. Além disso, gostei bastante da filosofia sobre morte, bem e mal da personagem no fim. Isso é excelente, pois deixa os personagens com menor aparência de bonecos, dando também o raciocínio, o pensamento, a filosofia deles. Meus sinceros parabéns à autora por uma obra tão magistral. Sou seu fã, Luh. Para quem procura um bom romance com boas pitadas de ação, drama e conflitos em uma ambientação antiga, esse é um dos melhores.”

As the boundaries between memory and existence begin to dissolve, those who walk between the two extremes will have to confront a question for which there may be no right answer: when the world has already ended, what does it mean to keep living?
