The Word Tree
Gita loves Mozambique, while her mother - who came from Portugal in search of a better life - longs to be part of the wealthy Portuguese elite. Teolinda Gersao paints an evocative picture of childhood in Africa and the stark constrast between lush, ebullient Mozambique and the bleak and poor outlook of Salazar in Portugal."
Alice e outras mulheres
Alice e outras mulheres é uma coletânea dos melhores contos de Teolinda Gersão, autora portuguesa que publica sua segunda obra pela Editora Oficina Raquel. A antologia conta com textos já publicados por Teolinda ao longo de seus 40 anos de trajetória literária, no entanto esta organização publicada pela editora Oficina Raquel é inédita para o público brasileiro. Por trás da escolha dos contos que compõem a seleta está o objetivo de mostrar todo o poder do feminino, ainda que muitas vezes silenciado e, neste sentido, nada melhor do que uma das mais célebres personagens da nossa literatura e imaginário para nomear esta recolha.
City of Ulysses
A man and a woman meet in Lisbon and fall in love. City of Ulysses is their story, and the city's love story besides. It is a story that leads readers down multiple paths, through myth and history, reality and fantasy, literature and the visual arts, the past and the present, male and female relations, the crisis of civilisation and the need to reimagine the world.
After the Revolution
The contributors to this book attempt to describe, analyze, and interpret the literary events and practices that characterize the two decades of Portuguese political and cultural life after the 1974 revolution. This significant event provides the basis for all the issues discussed in this volume and emerges as a principal agent behind Portuguese "cultural renegotiation."

The theme of loneliness comes as part of the package. The ways in which the narrative incorporates it, however, are as varied as the narratives themselves.
