There is a birthmark on Leonor's wrist in the shape of a butterfly. She had never noticed it — until the day a blue butterfly landed exactly there, and her life began to come apart into something better.

From Lisbon to Geneva, from Geneva to Mozambique, Leonor discovers that courage is not the absence of fear — it is acting in spite of it. That love is not what we control, but what transforms us. And that some stories were written long before we begin to live them.

Blue Butterfly is a luminous novel about self-discovery, love, and the beauty that exists in the world when we allow ourselves to see it.

For fans of the best of contemporary European fiction.
