Unlike previous works, set in the hinterland and interior of Bahia, the new book transports the narrative to Salvador, the first urban environment explored by the author in his novels.
In an interview with EstadaoItamar Vieira Junior explains that the choice of Salvador was a natural and symbolic step towards the end of the trilogy. The author observes that previous narratives followed the course of the rivers: Crooked plow takes place between the Santo Antônio and Tinga rivers, which flow into Paraguaçu, the scene of Save the fire. In turn, the Paraguaçu River flows into the Baía de Todos-os-Santos, bringing history to the capital of Bahia.
