Ser Quem Sou
(Being who I am) Book not yet available in English
Summary:
“Respect for intellectual differences in the choice of academic paths and sexual orientation. Those holidays when the cousins were all going to be together – Matilde, João Pedro, Jorge and Vicente – promised to be fun and fantastic. Suddenly, the discussion centres on Matilde and her parents, who want to force her to choose a secondary school course that doesn’t interest her. And she’s not the only cousin with unresolved problems. João Pedro is also afraid of his parents’ reaction when he reveals his sexual orientation. Even so, it’s going to be the best holiday ever because, between arguments, sharing and complicity, everyone has the courage to accept who they are and is open to accepting other people’s differences.”

Comment:
This book opens horizons to themes that are little addressed among adolescents, such as homosexuality and the free choice of a professional future without family or social pressures. Moving book, which makes us rethink our actions. (Marta Damásio)
