Essa Dama Bate Bué! by Yara Nakahanda Monteiro PT
AngolaDescription:
Vitória nasceu em Angola, mas foi criada em Portugal. A infância, que está longe de idílica (por causa do racismo e da condição de exilada), esconde um trauma: ela nunca conheceu a mãe, uma revolucionária angolana.

Everything Happens as it Does by Albena Stambolova EN
BulgariaDescription:
Albena Stambolova's idiosyncratic debut novel, Everything Happens as it Does, builds from the idea that everything happens exactly the way it must. In this case, the seven characters of the novel each play a specific role in the lives of the others, binding them all together in a strange, yet logical, knot. As characters are picked up, explored and then swept aside, the novel's beguiling structure becomes apparent, forcing the reader to pay attention to the patterns created by this accumulation of events and relationships.
