Because of the roses

With remarkable sensitivity and expressive power, Graça Alves writes about the indelible mark of friendship, about the impact that life, and especially death, has between friends, an unavoidable counterpoint to all existential paths.
Por Causa das Rosas is a psychological plot of joys, sorrows, embraces, and farewells, with the author revealing an admirable ability to capture feelings and emotions and to address the transcendent strangeness of remaining close to someone, in the solitude of definitive absence.
