Still I Miss You

Description

A love story told across lines we never consider crossing, Still I Miss You is narrated by two distinct voices - a man and a woman - intertwined to bring out the story of their intense relationship. Somewhere between passion and friendship, this couple finds themselves separated by one thing they cannot change: the woman, whose voice opens this amazing novel, died young. But their love is stronger than life and death, and the power of their story is an emotional tour de force. Praise for Still I Miss You: 'Still I Miss You is a marvelous novel, a ballad of disenchantment.' - Diario de Noticias (Portugal) 'Amidst the triumph of the commonplace, this novel by Ines Pedrosa is a mad torrent, a thread of light, a storm to which no one could remain immune or indifferent.' - Grande Reportagem (Portugal) 'This book is all about a mystery made sublime by the author's writing, in a meticulously crafted and virtually mirrored web of intrigue...A beautiful novel, with a desire to change the world, and which, besides everything else, one reads effortlessly, unable to stop.' - Expresso (Portugal) 'Ines Pedrosa has enjoyed such tremendous success with her novels because her themes-brimming with powerful emotions, human frailties, and the misunderstandings of existence-grab hold of readers page by page, allowing them to lose themselves completely.' - Oggimedia (Italy) 'Still I Miss You demonstrates all the literary gifts of this author who, born in 1962, embodies the new post-Saramago and post-Lobo Antunes literature of Portugal. The novel is a heartbreaking tale of love, abruptly ended, but recovered in the voice of the woman who has suddenly died, a literary conceit demanding total mastery.' - Bravo! (Brazil)
