My lime tree

Synopsis: This is the moving story of Zezé, a six-year-old boy born into a very poor family. Zezé is intelligent, sensitive, and creative, but very mischievous. Lacking the affection he doesn't find with his father and mother, who are more concerned with surviving each day, the boy gets lost in the streets, where he only invents pranks. Having learned pain and sadness too early, Zezé ends up using the world of his imagination to escape the reality of life: he confides in a lime tree, which he calls Xururuca, and to which he reveals his dreams and desires. It is in this fantasy that Zezé will find the joy of living and the strength to overcome his adversities. My Sweet Orange Tree is the major work of José Mauro de Vasconcelos, one of the great names in Brazilian literature.
