Saudade - Paperback

by Miriam Winthrop (Author)

After her life in America unravels, Ann Parker retreats to a village on Pico Island, carrying a promise to her grandmother: to uncover the fate of the family left behind in the Azores when she emigrated. At first, Ann holds herself apart, moving through the island in deliberate solitude. But in the steady rhythms of daily life and the people she meets, she finds something she had not come looking for-and her disciplined search becomes something far less contained.

As the past yields its truths, Ann must decide whether to return to the life she left behind-or to risk belonging somewhere new.

Saudade is an intimate portrait of loss, resilience, and the quiet, unexpected ways a life can be remade.
