Alentejo Blue by Monica Ali

A British couple moves to a remote farmhouse in the Alentejo region of Portugal seeking a fresh start, only to find their marriage and identities tested by the rhythms of rural life, the inscrutable local community, and secrets from both past and present; the novel traces their uneasy attempts to belong, the collisions between outsider and place, and how landscape, language, and small betrayals reshape desires and loyalties.
