Life in the Countryside — The Years of Maturity
After twenty years in Lisbon, writer Joel Neto – accompanied by his wife, the translator Catarina Ferreira de Almeida – decided to return to his roots in Dois Caminhos, in the parish of Terra Chã on Terceira Island, with the aim of staying there for a few years in search of the environment he needed to write a novel.
With the time set for their return to the big city having passed, their options were to find a way to stop time or accept once and for all that this was where they wanted to live permanently. With their canine family assembled, a well-tended garden and vegetable patch, breathtaking scenery and friendly neighbours all around, Joel and Catarina now smile with a mix of melancholy and lightness when they think about how peaceful their later years in the countryside will be.
