A novel combining elements of the Brazilian literary tradition with feminist and literary theory.

A wealthy woman, G.H., finds herself alone without a maid, and without a lover. She is thinking about what had occurred the previous day, when she decided to clean out the small maidʹs quarters at the back of her Rio de Janeiro apartment. However, the room of her former maid, Janair, already was clean and was almost devoid of material possessions.
