Dizziness
In the late 1970s, in Caniço, a coastal town on the island of Madeira, everyone knows Ana Clara, the strange girl who does not speak and spends her days at the window. When Anita Fontoura sees her, also trapped by the window of her husband-imposed loneliness, an unexpected friendship develops between the two neighbours.
Decades later, returning to the island to bury Anita, her daughter Oti reunites with Ana Clara, her godmother, to try to understand the family history, the story of the Fontoura women, their escape to Lisbon, and that mother who was so difficult to love.
This is a novel about freedom and courage, about forging our own path, about screams in the silence. Two confined women united by fate who, together, found a way to fly.
