Description
From an emerging talent comes an exquisite collection of stories exploring the complexity of love between women, each a delicate piece in a mosaic transcending the boundaries of literary romance. Amora dares explore the way women love each other-the atrophy and healing of the female spirit in response to sexual desire and identity. These thirty-three short stories and poems, crafted with a deliberate delicacy, each capture the candid, private moments of women in love. Together, these stories and the women who inhabit them reveal an illuminating portrait of the sacred female romance, with all its nuances, complexities, burdens, and triumphs revealed. Violence, sickness, chaos, tenderness, beauty, and freedom adorn these pages in a mosaic of unforgettable moments, including a lesbian granddaughter discovering unexpected commonalities with her grandmother, a teenagers tryst with her friend after disenchanting sex with a boy, and an old couples dreamy Sunday-morning ritual. Sweeping nearly every major Brazilian literary prize in 2016-including the Prêmio Jabuti and Prêmio Açorianos de Literatura-Amora has propelled Natalia Borges Polesso to the forefront of the international literary world.
