520    "With sharp, gorgeous prose, It Is Wood, It Is Stone takes
       place over the course of a year in São Paulo, Brazil, in 
       which two women's lives intersect. Linda, an anxious and 
       restless American, has moved with her husband, Dennis, for
       a year professorship. As Dennis submerges himself into his
       work, Linda finds herself unmoored and adrift, feeling 
       increasingly disassociated from her own body. Linda's 
       unwavering and skilled maid, Marta, has more claim to 
       Linda's home than she can fathom. Marta, who is struggling
       to make sense of her country's complicated history and its
       racial tensions, is exasperated by Linda's instability. 
       One day, Linda leaves home with a charismatic and 
       beguiling artist, whom she joins on a fervent adventure 
       that causes reverberations felt by everyone, and 
       ultimately binds Marta and Linda in a profoundly human, 
       and tender, way. An exquisite debut novel by young 
       Brazilian American author Gabriella Burnham, It is Wood, 
       It is Stone is about women whose romantic and subversive 
       entanglements reflect on class and colorism, sexuality, 
       and complex, divisive histories"--|cProvided by publisher.
