Crooked Plow by Itamar Viera Junior - shortlisted for the International Booker prize this year. ​'I heard our grandmother asking what we were doing.'"Say something!" she demanded, threatening to tear out our tongues.

Heralded as the most important Brazilian novel of the century so far, this bestseller's unique blend of magic and social realism has already won it three literary awards and global acclaim. You can buy it at this indie bookshop:
