Saudade

The goal was to slowly read this over a couple of days, but I couldn't put it down....so I'm done. It's only 107 pages, so it was basically a novella.I was worried I would be lost because I know absolutely nothing about Angola or what happened historically in Goa in the 1960's but our narrator is a little girl (for the most part) and everything comes off dreamy and out-of-time anyway. Each little chapter houses a dramatic little scene that set that particular moment apart from the rest.It reminded me very much of [b:Fruit of the Drunken Tree 36636727 Fruit of the Drunken Tree Ingrid Rojas Contreras https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1511284543l/36636727.SY75.jpg 58402751]. It felt similar.
