I Am Angelina

The coma took months of her life. The years that followed would ask for everything else.Home from Brazil but carrying an emptiness she cannot name, Angelina returns to Spain with one phone number pressed into her palm. It leads her to Pablo and the Calé families of Andalusia: a travelling community that does not take in strangers lightly, and that teaches her what belonging and healing might really mean.But peace never holds for long. A family reunion in Brazil opens a gift she cannot close. Then the glittering nights of Puerto Banús draw her into a world of wealth, danger and dark allure: a bar scene where nothing is what it seems, a man everyone calls the Joker, and women whose lives are not their own. A new love carries her north to Denmark and a chateau where the past will not stay buried. There are shadows in daylight, and a warning in the wild. A clairvoyant sees what no one else will believe.Northern Lights is the third book in Elisângela Bearigo’s true-life series. It is the story of the in-between years: years of starting over in languages she did not speak, and of learning that surviving and healing are not the same thing. It is written with unflinching honesty about the unseen world she has lived beside all her life.And at the end of all that dark, in a cold northern city, a light appears.For readers of powerful memoirs of survival, spiritual awakening and the women who refuse to be broken.
