Notes

Description
As we travel with him on a route that takes him from India to Spain, he spins his labyrinthine family tale of mad passions and volcanic family hatreds, of titanic matriarchs and their mesmerised offspring, of premature deaths and curses that strike beyond the grave.
Description
As he sits in prison, Moraes "Moor" Zogoiby tells the story of his lineage in great detail -- for the longer his tale lasts, the longer he will live. Moor recounts the rise and fall of his spice-merchant family, descendants of Vasco da Gama. He describes their disagreements and thwarted loves, and his happy childhood that ended in an exile decreed by his mother. Some strong language and some violence
