The Return of the Caravels
Description
In the tumultuous wake of Portugal's colonial collapse, a former doctor grapples with the ghosts of his past and the fractured present of Lisbon. As the nation navigates its uncertain future, he is drawn into a labyrinth of memory, confronting the brutal legacies of war and the profound personal losses that haunt him. This novel masterfully explores themes of identity, disillusionment, and the enduring weight of history, all rendered in the author's signature, unflinching prose. It is a powerful meditation on a nation and its people at a pivotal, disorienting moment.
