The Shape of Bones





A visceral coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of violence and turbulent desire in the blistering Brazilian suburbs

Penguin presents the complete unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Shape of Bones by Daniel Galera, read by Charlie Anson.

Hermano rises at 5 a.m. and leaves his home in an SUV filled with survival gear. He doesn't wake his wife or child to bid them goodbye - neither does he meet his best friend at their pre-arranged rendezvous point. Driving through the sleeping streets of Porto Alegre, he is haunted by ghosts of his past selves: the fearless boy riding a battered stunt bike, the silent adolescent fascinated by bodies and violence, the obsessive young surgeon, the distant husband.

As the dawn comes on and people slowly fill the streets, Hermano finds himself driving unthinkingly, inexorably, back to the old neighbourhood of his youth, looking for absolution from a crime he has carried in his heart for fifteen years.
