Immersive, lyrical, and tender - a novella of love, memory, and the courage to stay present.
Lisbon in summer: a city of light, trams, bread, and tides that keep their own wisdom. Rui, a student already marked by departure, meets Clara, a woman who teaches him that studying can be an act of kindness and that presence can be braver than any promise.
What begins in quiet hallways becomes a season of intimacy carried by rituals-a lemon on a windowsill, the tap-tap of secret applause, journeys to beaches where fishermen still work the nets, and the misted gardens of Sintra. Each moment becomes a vow to live the day honestly, even with October's departure approaching.
A Goddess in Silhouette
is more than a love story: it is a meditation on endings, memory, and the light that remains after clouds. For readers who cherish poetic prose, tender romance, and cities that feel alive, this novella offers a Lisbon summer you'll never forget.
