      Lídia Jorge nasceu em 1946 no Algarve. O Dia dos Prodígios, o seu primeiro romance, é uma alegoria ao país fechado que era Portugal durante a ditadura. Nele a autora vai buscar inspiração ao passado comum das mulheres mediterrânicas e da extremidade do mundo ocidental que é a sua terra. Lídia Jorge é uma das escritoras mais relevantes do atual panorama literário português. "Lídia Jorge possui todo o passado poético, essencial, da sua língua. Mas igualmente toda a violência trágica que explode sob a intensidade do sol. É no Sul de Portugal que termina a Europa. Mas é também aí que ela começa."
