Description
[Machine Translation] Ludovica ( Ludo ) was born in Portugal and is afraid of the sky and wide open spaces. Her parents died one after another, and when her sister Odette, her only family member, married, she moved to the top floor of a luxurious apartment owned by her brother-in-law Orlando, a mining engineer working for a diamond company, in Luanda, the capital of Angola. For many years, Angola had been under Portuguese rule, but in the aftermath of the revolution at home, the liberation struggle intensified, and in 1975, the country finally declared its independence. In the midst of the upheaval, his sister and her husband, who had gone to one of the farewell parties for Angolans who were leaving the country one after another, went missing. Fearful of outside attacks, Lourdes cemented the entrance to her apartment, isolated herself and her dog, and began a life of self-sufficiency. Angola then fell into a 27-year civil war. During this time, Ludo lives alone, forgotten by everyone, in a room on the top floor with a rooftop terrace, and while living side by side with hunger, he talks to himself, writing words on all kinds of paper, and when he runs out of paper, on the walls. In the outside world, people from all walks of life who have survived the upheavals of independence are drawn to Ludo as if by fate. 2013 Fernando Namora Literary Award and 2017 International Dublin Literary Award Winner.
