Fiction
Thirty Something: Nothing's How We Dreamed It'd Be
by Filipa Fonseca Silva
Description
Filipe lives haunted by a teenage passion that stops him from having
serious relationships. Joana is a controlling and moralistic woman,
disappointed with her own marriage. Maria is trying to rebuild her life
after being dumped just before walking down the aisle.
During a dinner party that starts off seemingly banal, but that ends up
filled with arguments, lies, and alcohol, these three college friends,
now in their thirties, are confronted with their own journeys and
lifestyles and discover that nothing is how they dreamed it would be.
Written in an almost cinematographic style, reminiscent of The Big
Chill, this three-narrator novel has charmed readers all over the world,
portraying, with humor and unassumingly, an entire generation.
