Through the pages of this novel we are transported to a Lisbon dazzled by the shine of Brazil's gold and belittled by hidden poverty. We are in the middle of the 18th century, there are dangerous political maneuvers, bedroom secrets, love, heartbreak and betrayals insinuate themselves behind the processions, the Inquisition and the courtly festivities. Here we are in the midst of the reign of D. João V, the king who made us dream of gold… of Ouro Preto (Black Gold).

 

"Ouro Preto is based on real facts and very good to read. Premium recommendation for the July holidays."

Carlos Castelo, in Bravo Magazine (São Paulo), July 2019​​
