The worker apocalypse

This is valter hugo mãe's most entertaining novel, woven from the ever-tragic story of two cleaning ladies and professional mourners who, amidst weariness and disillusionment, still find reasons for hope. Each in their own way, they discover unconventional paths to happiness, demonstrating an intelligence rooted more in emotion than in the shy prudence of common sense. The most genuine portrait of Portugal is, at the same time, a sign of strength and confidence, so that one day the country may find the generosity that so defines its own people.
