Walk the cobbled streets of Portugal within the pages of Paulo da Costa's 'The Scent of a Lie.' Here, fourteen stories interlace like vines, crafting a vivid mural of townsfolk whose lives are as entwined as their narratives. Read it as a novel broken into shards of reality, each piece a peek into the soul of a community painted by da Costa's deft hand.
Award-winning and critically acclaimed, 'The Scent of a Lie' carries the honor of the Commonwealth Writers Prize and resonates with the intimacy of folklore and the clarity of daybreak. Characters emerge, rich and sentient, as da Costa weaves a literary tapestry as textured as the linen of olden tales. Each story in this collection is a thread in the larger narrative, pulling you into a world where every whisper and shadow has weight. Encounter the quiet brilliance of a writer who conjures the profound from the everyday and sets the ordinary alight with magical realism's touch.
