I might no longer exist here at this moment this moment might no
longer exist for me Violeta is driving along a lonely stretch of
late-night motorway, caught in a tumultuous storm. When her tired
eyes close for just a second, her car veers off the road,
overturns, and comes to rest on an empty stretch of sodden ground.
And as she lies amid the wreckage, suspended between this world and
the next, Violeta's troubled life will quite literally flash before
her eyes . . . Violeta Among the Stars weaves memories and feelings
as Violeta reflects on her death and her life, the piercing highs
and the seedy lows. An astonishing portrait of a seemingly
insignificant life from one of Portugal's greatest living writers.
