At the end of the 19th century, Kehinde, an elderly African woman, blind and almost on her deathbed, travels from Africa to Brazil in search of her son who has been missing for decades. During the crossing she tells the story of her life. Born in Savalu in 1810, Kehinde, still a child, watches as her mother is raped and killed. With her grandmother and twin sister Taiwo, she manages to escape the massacre and flees to another town. There, Kehinde and her sister are captured and put on a slave ship to Brazil. After a time, already the mother of a child she bore as the result of a rape, Kehinde manages to buy her freedom, and becomes involved with Alberto, a white man, father of her second son. Under constant watch as a freed slave, she ends up being arrested, but, with the help of friends, manages to escape from jail and leave Salvador. Some time later, she returns, only to confront the biggest tragedy of her life: Alberto, who has become an alcoholic and gambler, has sold their son to pay off a debt. From that moment on, finding her son becomes her sole goal in life, taking her to Rio de Janeiro, So Paulo and, finally, back to Africa, where new discoveries and tragedies await her. In addition to being drawn into an utterly engrossing narrative, marked by fatality, readers will discover, in impressively rich detail, little known aspects of African culture and religion in Brazil and Africa, as they accompany the saga of Kehinde, an unforgettable character, who will go down in the history of Brazilian literature.UM DEFEITO DE COR (A COLOR DEFECT) the name of an old law that allowed Negroes or mulattos to request that 'the color defect be overlooked' when they demonstrated extreme talent, competence or will already has a guaranteed place among the great masterpieces of Brazilian literature.
