Synopsis

From the acclaimed author of In Your Hands comes a heartrending novel about the struggle to hold on to what you’ve lost, and knowing when it’s time to let go.In this keenly observant dissection of a love affair in limbo, award-winning author Inês Pedrosa masterfully draws readers into the feverish, unsparing dual confessions of a man and a woman who are finally baring their hearts, souls, fury, and grief over a relationship that was abruptly shattered and never forgotten. Until now, there was so much between them left unspoken.With each new unguarded, darkly funny, and emotional disclosure, they’re brought back together—though impossibly so. Through the intimate voices of these unforgettable narrators unfolds a remarkable love story of regret and reconciliation, of loss and wrenching truths, told across lines few have ever considered crossing.Praised by the New York Times for the “incantatory prose…absorbing in its history, as well as in its family dynamics” of her multigenerational saga In Your Hands, Pedrosa casts a seductive new spell with Still I Miss You, her second novel to be translated into English.

Goodreads review by Susan on June 18, 2019

This is a very difficult book to characterize. Not all that easy to rate, either. I noticed that a lot of people have given it a single star, and many of them couldn't even finish it. But... even though it isn't what I'd call an "easy" read, I'm glad I stuck it out. This was my Amazon First Read choi......more

Comecei a ler o livro meio que na cegueira e não imaginava que este se converteria de fato numa obra prima, nunca li Pedrosa antes, mas a forma que ela transforma uma prosa poética num discurso bifurcado entre duas vozes é esplendoroso. O livro definitivo sobre amizade.......more

Goodreads review by David on October 14, 2019

Alternating chapters as two lovers talk to each other, but not really. See the lady in question here is dead. Floating in limbo - sort of Patrick Swayze'ing it alongside her past lover with nary a Whoopi Goldberg medium in sight. But a lot less fun and way more wordy. These two are self indulgent an......more

Goodreads review by João on May 02, 2021

Esta não é uma conversa normal, um diálogo a dois entre um morto e um ainda vivo. Num diálogo entre um morto e um vivo o que ressalta é a sensação de imortalidade do que está vivo, porque sobreviveu a mais uma pessoa, roubou mais um lugar da fila de espera do Deus tantas vezes interpelado ao longo d......more

Goodreads review by Matheus on June 10, 2020

Com uma prosa poética milimetricamente bem medida e uma atenção excepcional a cada palavra, "Fazes-me falta?" é uma verdadeira obra-prima que esbanja singeleza e sensibilidade ao abordar a condição humana em sua essência. Carregada de frases cortantes e introspectivas, a narrativa, que se divide ent......more
