Description
In a remote, impoverished village on Portugal's southern coast, the ordinary is shattered when a serpent takes flight, signaling a profound shift in reality. This event ripples through the lives of its inhabitants, particularly Eva, a young bride newly arrived to join her officer husband in a coastal town. As the narrative unfolds, weaving together the mundane and the magical, the story explores themes of societal decay, the resilience of the human spirit, and the blurred lines between the real and the imagined. Through evocative prose, the novel delves into the heart of a community grappling with hardship and the unsettling arrival of the extraordinary.
