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.

WINNER OF WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS DEBUT NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2025 THE NUMBER 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS BOOK CLUB PICK A full-fat, Michelin-starred treat THE SUNDAY TIMES ''I have been glued to Asako Yuzuki''s new novel Butter NIGEL SLATER The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story, and translated by Polly Barton. There are two things that I can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine. Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in Tokyo Detention Centre convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nations imagination but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is, until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew and Kajii cant resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a masterclass in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii but it seems that she might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body, might she and Kaji have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the real case of the convicted con woman and serial killer, "The Konkatsu Killer", Asako Yuzukis Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.
