«Debaixo de Algum Céu» is the novel that won the Prémio LeYa 2012 by Nuno Camarneiro, published by Dom Quixote in paperback (199 pages, in Portuguese).
In a building by the beach, several neighbours who barely cross paths look for what they lack: peace, music, warmth or something to believe in. There is a lonely widow with her cat, a man who invents futures in hiding, a baby who tests his parents, a retired man who builds inventions in the basement, an almost normal family and a priest with doubts of faith. A storm leaves the building without power for a week, suspending their lives and pushing them to look inward, review their past and forgive.
The work received the Prémio LeYa in 2012 and was distinguished as one of the best books of 2013 by the newspaper Expresso.
For readers of contemporary European fiction looking for a choral, everyday story with a poetic tone about the search for redemption, as long as they can read it in Portuguese.
