Fernando Mão-de-Ferro, the editor of Colibri, Elisabete Rodrigues, director of Sul Informação, José Gameiro, scientific director of the Portimão Museum, Isilda Gomes, president of the Portimão Chamber and even the author herself spoke a little about this book, which includes eight short stories and a novel.
