As the Moon Changes

The Moon governs Camila's days. Aurora is a dreamer. Francisca will stop at nothing to achieve her ends. Margarida senses that something serious is about to happen.

While the Moon Changes tells us the stories of four women, in different eras, inevitably linked by a profound secret.

When Camila, the young and enthusiastic midwife, has to move to Africa with her husband, a series of events is set in motion that will lead her to make some questionable choices — and link her forever to Aurora, Francisca, and Margarida.

For many years, the truth remains hidden, until Margarida, a young surgical resident, finds herself confronted with an unexpected challenge on her path. To overcome this obstacle, she will need to unearth deep secrets. And realize that everything she believed in was, after all, a lie.

While the Moon Changes presents us with the journeys of these women, in alternating voices, through emotions that become linked in a subtle and delicate way, intertwined by a profound secret. They are four women who challenge themselves and overcome the prejudices and stigmas of society, showing their strength and defending their convictions.

This is a book about the harshness of principles and the unpredictability of ends, about birth and death and the weight we give to them, so much so that we often forget what happens in between: life.

Is it worth doing anything for a child?
