O Retorno by Dulce Maria Cardoso
Diário de uma Quarentena
Set against the backdrop of the Portuguese decolonization of Angola in the mid-1970s, the narrative follows the tumultuous journey of a young boy and his family as they are forced to return to Portugal, a homeland they barely know. The story captures the emotional turmoil and identity crisis faced by the protagonist as he navigates the challenges of displacement, cultural dislocation, and the struggle to find a sense of belonging in a country that feels foreign. Through poignant and introspective storytelling, the novel explores themes of loss, adaptation, and the search for identity amidst the chaos of historical upheaval.
