Description

With the 2003 publication of her acclaimed debut novel, Brick Lane, Monica Ali established herself as a keen observer of the human condition. In Alentejo Blue, set in a village community in Portugal called Mamarossa, Ali delves into the daily lives, hopes, wishes, and dreams of villagers and visitors. Through episodic vignettes, she captures the inner landscape of her characters with intricate detail. The story follows various individuals, including a blocked writer, a messy family, a young woman facing a life-changing decision, and an engaged couple on a break from wedding planning. As the villagers anticipate the arrival of a wealthy man, Marco Alfonso Rodrigues, Ali explores themes of history, change, and self-discovery. Her narrative is filled with compassion and insight, inviting readers to ponder the complexities of human nature. Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
