Through a blend of painful yet playful poetry, Luísa Coelho explores her reconnection with Luanda, Angola, her birthplace, in a post-colonial context. The collection reflects on the remnants of colonial history, using vivid imagery to portray the struggles of its impoverished citizens. Central to the poems is the theme of maternal love, offering a glimmer of hope amid despair. Coelho's work serves as a poignant testimony to both the past and the ongoing hardships faced by Luanda's residents after decades of colonial rule and civil conflict.
