Synopsis
Monica Ali follows up BRICK LANE, her breakout debut, with a novel set in the poorest regions of Portugal. The novel follows the interconnected mix of peasants and tourists that occupy the rural milieu. Though lacking the intensity of her first novel, ALENTEJO BLUE compensates with the richness of the characters, and Ali's profound insight into the human psyche.

Publisher's Note
A new collection of short stories set in the Alentejo province of Portugal features a range of colorful characters, linked by a vivid sense of place and time, including Teresa, a beautiful young girl from the village engaged to a suitable man, who yearns to see the world, and Vasco, a café owner who is losing business to the new Internet café down the road. By the author of Brick Lane. Reprint. 60,000 first printing.

Industry Reviews
"ALENTEJO BLUE--a collection of vignettes set in rural Portugal--establishes definitively that Monica Ali is a major literary talent....Ali understands her characters--what the want, how they deceive themselves, where they fit into this forlorn corner of the world--with perfect clarity."
