«Dieciséis mujeres» is the novel by Rafael Cardoso, published by Alevosía in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
A book of sixteen stories that intertwine around as many women and the neighbourhoods of Rio de Janeiro where they live. Each story focuses on a decisive moment in a protagonist’s life, from an elderly woman assaulted in her home to a girl abandoned with her mother’s boyfriend, and spans very different realities, from gated communities to favelas. A male character named Rafael crosses their lives as a thread running through all the stories.
Translation from the Portuguese by Carla Guimaraes; the original, «Entre as mulheres», was published in Brazil. First edition by Alevosía, Madrid.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction interested in choral narratives with female protagonists and in Brazilian urban life.
