Lídia Jorge was born in Boliqueim in the Algarve in 1946. She is one of the most important voices of contemporary Portuguese and European literature. Her novels often reflect Portuguese reality through a brilliant psychological analysis of her characters. In Nous combattrons l’ombre, the author places us inside the troubled head of a psychoanalyst who is a victim of his anxieties, weaknesses and obsessions. The writing is intimate and captivating. On the release of the book, Jorge was awarded the Grand Prize of the Portuguese Authors’ Society.
