Sophia é uma mulher encantadora que possui um magnetismo capaz de atrair todos à sua volta. Não se trata apenas de uma beleza física escultural, mas a simpatia, a delicadeza, o sorriso, a educação e a inteligência acima da média, tudo conjugado na mesma pessoa. Os trabalhadores da fábrica Krauss que tiveram a oportunidade de conhecê-la ficaram embasbacados por essa nova funcionária. Sophia é mais uma personagem cheia de superlativos que compõem a narrativa desse romance. Além dela, o próprio Krauss, Boon, Eros, Otávio, Fulgêncio, Atanásio (o maior de todos os sonhadores, um Dom Quixote fracassado e que tem um cachorro manco como o seu fiel escudeiro) e outros tantos.

A sucessão do poderoso magnata do petróleo vai provocar uma grande reviravolta na gestão da empresa, inaugurando uma nova era, a de Mr. Boon.
