Quando um jovem professor decide aceitar a mão que o destino lhe estende, longe está de imaginar que, desse momento em diante, de mero espectador passará a narrador e personagem da sua própria vida. Na aldeia dos avós, no Alentejo mais profundo, Joaquim Baiôa, velho faz-tudo, decidiu recuperar as casas que os proprietários haviam votado ao abandono e assim reabilitar Gorda-e-Feia, antes que a morte a venha reclamar. Eis, pois, o pretexto ideal para uma pausa no ensino e o sossegar de um quotidiano apressado imposto pela modernidade. Mas, em Gorda-e-Feia, a morte insiste em sair a rua, e a pacatez por que o jovem professor ansiava torna-se um tempo a míngua, enquanto, juntamente com Baiôa, tenta lutar contra a desertificação de um mundo condenado. Num romance que tanto tem de poético como de irónico, repleto de personagens memoráveis e de exuberância imaginativa, e construído como uma teia que se adensa ao ritmo da leitura, Rui Couceiro põe frente a frente dois mundos antagónicos, o urbano e o rural, e duas gerações que se encontram a meio caminho, sobre o pó que ali se tinge de vermelho, o mais novo a espera, o mais velho sem data para morrer.

Un jour, pensant faire sourire votre femme et vos amis, vous rasez la moustache que vous portiez depuis dix ans. Personne ne le remarque ou, pire, chacun feint de ne l'avoir pas remarqué, et c'est vous qui souriez jaune. Tellement jaune que, bientôt, vous ne souriez plus du tout.
