Summary

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.

Quotes from the Critics

"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." - Entertainment Weekly
