Dom Casmurro
A solitary man builds a replica of his childhood house in a Rio suburb so that he can reconstruct his life inside it, starting with the neighbour girl with undertow eyes he was promised to and the seminary his mother's old vow sent him to instead. Marriage, a best friend and a son's face supply the rest of the evidence he assembles. The whole account is given by a man who reached his verdict long ago.
