José Branco's life changed the day he entered that village lost in the heart of Africa and came across a terrible secret. In the 1960s, the doctor had moved to Mozambique where, faced with countless health problems, he had a revolutionary idea: to create the Aerial Medical Service.
In his small plane, José daily crosses a vast territory to bring help to the most remote corners of the province. His work quickly attracts attention, and the doctor who arrives from the sky dressed in white becomes a legend in the bush.
They call him the White Angel.
But the colonial war breaks out, and one day, during another health mission, José encounters what will become Portugal's most terrifying secret overseas.
Inspired by real events and featuring a cast of characters worthy of a major production, The White Angel asserts itself as the most powerful novel ever published about the Colonial War - and, above all, about the last years of Portuguese presence in Africa.
