"To fulfill a pact made during her student days, fifty-five-year-old Ana Kauffman plans a party to celebrate the new millennium. As old friends resurface and the countdown to the new century draws near, Ana's past undergoes a series of unexpected revisions - beginning with the arrival of Berta, the newly minted post-op persona of Ana's former boyfriend Norberto." "Set amidst the chaos of contemporary Brasilia, a place where even the most basic human affairs - love, friendship, sex and work - can take unlikely shapes. Ana's story is both relentlessly modern and profoundly timeless."--Jacket.
