![Memory is a house.
Each room holds an echo of the past, and each unlocked door reveals a familiar ghost.
In [Grace Period], Mateus Silva returns to his childhood home after 25 years — only to find the world of his youth eerily altered.
The beautiful neighbor who once enchanted him is now a stranger.
“The woman he sees now bears little resemblance to the one he remembers.”
This taut novella by Maria Judite de Carvalho is “haunted by childhood-glimpsed beauty” and “filled with bittersweet melancholy.”
It’s a quiet reckoning with lost time — a room in the soul where old love, regret, and longing sit together in the dust-moted light of late autumn.
Because sometimes, leaving home is easier than returning.
