From the acclaimed author of In Your Hands comes a heartrending novel about the struggle to hold on to what you’ve lost, and knowing when it’s time to let go.
In this keenly observant dissection of a love affair in limbo, award-winning author Inês Pedrosa masterfully draws readers into the feverish, unsparing dual confessions of a man and a woman who are finally baring their hearts, souls, fury, and grief over a relationship that was abruptly shattered and never forgotten. Until now, there was so much between them left unspoken.
With each new unguarded, darkly funny, and emotional disclosure, they’re brought back together―though impossibly so. Through the intimate voices of these unforgettable narrators unfolds a remarkable love story of regret and reconciliation, of loss and wrenching truths, told across lines few have ever considered crossing.
Praised by the New York Times for the “incantatory prose . . . absorbing in its history, as well as in its family dynamics” of her multigenerational saga In Your Hands, Pedrosa casts a seductive new spell with Still I Miss You, her second novel to be translated into English.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A love story told across lines we never consider crossing, Still I Miss You is narrated by two distinct voices a man and a woman intertwined to bring out the story of their intense relationship. Somewhere between passion and friendship, this couple finds themselves separated by one thing they cannot change: the woman, whose voice opens this amazing novel, died young. But their love is stronger than life and death, and the power of their story is an emotional tour de force.Praise for Still I Miss You:'Still I Miss You is a marvelous novel, a ballad of disenchantment.' Diario de Noticias (Portugal)'Amidst the triumph of the commonplace, this novel by Ines Pedrosa is a mad torrent, a thread of light, a storm to which no one could remain immune or indifferent.' Grande Reportagem (Portugal)'This book is all about a mystery made sublime by the author's writing, in a meticulously crafted and virtually mirrored web of intrigueA beautiful novel, with a desire to change the world, and which, besides everything else, one reads effortlessly, unable to stop.' Expresso (Portugal)'Ines Pedrosa has enjoyed such tremendous success with her novels because her themesbrimming with powerful emotions, human frailties, and the misunderstandings of existencegrab hold of readers page by page, allowing them to lose themselves completely.' Oggimedia (Italy)'Still I Miss You demonstrates all the literary gifts of this author who, born in 1962, embodies the new post-Saramago and post-Lobo Antunes literature of Portugal. The novel is a heartbreaking tale of love, abruptly ended, but recovered in the voice of the woman who has suddenly died, a literary conceit demanding total mastery.' Bravo!
