"Sharp and smoky to be inhaled rather than binged."--The New York Times A good nanny is hard to find. Fernanda a busy executive whose marriage is foundering has a room in her sprawling house redecorated in the style of a tiny luxury hotel room the Tokyo Suite to entice her maid Maju to stay.   Still one morning Maju walks out the door slips past the army of nannies in the square gets into a taxi and vanishes. She also takes Fernanda's daughter Cora with her.  Consumed by her own personal and professional crises Fernanda doesn't realize at first that Cora is missing and that Maju has kidnapped her but when she does she is violently pulled back into reality and the vagaries of her domestic life.   Meanwhile Maju with Cora in tow stops in cheap motels and abandoned locales as she makes her way across the Brazilian countryside carrying out her plan which will quickly and brutally veer out of control.   Madalosso sets in motion the lives of characters endlessly searching for something-affection redemption sex-to free them. Cora's disappearance puts the past and the present on a collision course and ignites desires resentments and class tensions. The desperate quest that ensues is a settling of scores with life and the expectations we create for ourselves.
