An awkward orphan Дориш works on a kitchen in the farmstead of saccharine planter in the north of Brazil. She knows nothing, except a manorial house and surrounding his fields of sugar-cane. But once her coeval, daughter of owner of Граса, appears in a house - beautiful, clever and cheeky. Дориш and Граса, girls from the different worlds, appear bound by loneliness in the deaf corner of Brazil, torn off from the whole world. In the soul of each music lives of them. One possesses wonderful voice of song-bird, and in other a music-bird fights exactly in a cage, while once will not break forth as the invented songs. And both dream to submerge in the large world. Музыка will become their general passion, basis of their friendship and rivalry and only method to run from life to that they, seemed, sentenced. Their intimate, changeable connection on a pair with music will define their fate.Roman wrap-round a few ten years, from 1930th to our days, moving from the thick Brazilian remote place in ablaze lights and dangerous to Rio de Janeiro, and then to Hollywood, full music. A samba, разухабистая and vestibule, loud and barely audible, sounds from every page of this book.
