Aida Gomes’s collection spans Portugal, Angola, Cape Verde, and Brazil, blending humor and tenderness in lively prose to reveal our shared humanity in surprising, rhythmic stories.
A collection of short stories and chronicles that spans geographies (Portugal, Angola, Cape Verde, Brazil) and asks: how many lives can fit into one? Aida Gomes blends voices and scents, humor and tenderness, in a living, ever-shifting language to reveal what we share—the human, in both the good and the bad—in stories full of surprise and rhythm.
