Home stories. With a masterful humour, from the subtlest irony to the clearest sarcasm, Almeida exposes the hypocrisy present in the public and private lives of the Caboverdian society which, seen through its singular magnifying glass becomes the paradigm of any society. With the feeling that we could change the names and then the characters of these three stories by known faces, the author shows us the capacity of literature to pull down geographical and temporal barriers. A husband guardian of his honour, a man who is looking for love and avoids the compromise equally and a narcissist writer are waiting behind the doors which Almeida opens for us with complicity and optimism.
