Description
In a voice as lucid as it is unsettling, this novel unfolds as a haunting meditation on how love and war—seemingly opposites—can become entangled in the same human need for meaning. Across shifting memories and fractured perspectives, lives collide with the machinery of conflict, revealing the absurd bargains people make to survive, to desire, and to forgive. With its lyrical intensity and moral clarity, the book explores themes of loss, complicity, and the strange persistence of tenderness amid devastation. Celebrated for his distinctive, original style, António Lobo Antunes crafts a work that feels both intimate and panoramic, drawing readers into a world where history echoes inside the heart.
