Bairro das Cruzes
A family. An unbreakable bond. A secret that transcends time.
The Bairro das Cruzes is the story of Luísa. And Rosa. It is the story of the crosses carried since childhood that shape choices. Paths followed and others avoided. The Bairro das Cruzes mixes communists and PIDE and survives Lisbon's floods. It carries a heavy burden and holds fast to the land for those born there.
In a story that could very well be our own, Susana Amaro Velho shows us how roots, family, and the bonds we form in childhood can influence us forever. It makes us look back at our grandparents, in a fast-paced narrative punctuated by details full of humor, in a novel that reveals the people and stories of 1970s Portugal.
