| Summary: | A Árvore das Patacas is based on real events that have now been fictionalized. At the center of this narrative is the controversial financing of a Portuguese political party, obtained through funds raised from Macau businessmen and involving processes of dubious legality. These facts culminate in the transfer of a substantial sum of money to Portugal, without knowledge of the final destination of these funds. This novel is one of the few literary works from Macau that employs an intersection of historical facts and fiction to construct a sociopolitical landscape of Macau during a specific period of time. |
