Description

Translated from the Portguese by Daniel Hahn

The extraordinary story of two generations in a Lisbon family of carpenters and of a father's attempt to outrun his fate in the marathon at the Stockholm Olympics in 1908.

'A superb family saga' The Times
'Almost unbearably moving'Financial Times

The L zaro family are carpenters who would rather be piano-makers. In the dusty back room of their carpentry shop in Lisbon is the 'piano cemetery', filled with broken-down pianos that provide the spare parts needed for repairing and rebuilding instruments all over the city.

It is a mysterious and magical place, a place of solace, a dreaming place and, above all, a trysting place for lovers.Peixoto weaves the tragic true story of the marathon-runner, Francisco L zaro, into a rich narrative of love, betrayal, domestic happiness and dashed hopes.
