Special Offer – Reduced From $51.95

Saudade

A coming-of-age story set in Angola in the period leading up to the colony’s independence, Saudade focuses on a Goan immigrant family caught between complicity in Portuguese rule, and their dependence on the Angolans who are their servants. The title speaks to the melancholy longing for homeland that haunts the characters, and especially the young girl who is the book’s protagonist and narrator.

The Prodigal

In her debut poetry collection, Peres da Costa expands upon the range of voices in her fiction, conjuring dramatic personae from Indian history and allegories from suburban Sydney, exploring lyric, narrative and essayistic modes. Marked by its attention to the body, its strengths and infirmities, The Prodigal explores the experience of suffering through earthly and human ecologies and primordial connections.

Purchase the two books by acclaimed writer Suneeta Peres da Costa at a reduced price. The first, a novella called Saudade, was shortlisted for the Prime Minister’s Literary Award. The second, The Prodigal, is the author’s debut book of poetry. Valued at $51.95, this bundle is offered at $40.00.
