Description
On a flight to Portugal, Nádia meets Elisa. Two women who do not know each other, but whom fate brings together for a part of their lives. During the journey, Nádia opens her heart and begins to tell the story of her family, an intense and at times painful story.
With regret, she recalls the life of her Catholic mother, who lived in the shadow of a Muslim husband, twelve years her senior, and his second, young wife.
In his account, colonial and independent Mozambique take shape, the contrasts of a changing society, and the voices of a large family with fifteen children and two mothers united by a common destiny.
Nádia smiles when she remembers her half-brother Ussen, she is moved when she talks about her father - a complex man with a thousand ideas and a thousand faces, whose word was law.
Between memories, pain and affection, his tale becomes a journey into the human soul, into the bond between cultures and generations, between faith and freedom, between love and submission.
After the touching The House of Memories, Amilca Ismael gives us another profound and human novel that explores the nuances of existence with authentic, delicate writing that touches the soul.
A tale that combines life, history and feeling, leaving the reader with the certainty that every voice, when it finds the courage to tell its story, always opens a door to truth.
