Description
In 18th-century Lisbon, a soldier's life is forever changed when he falls deeply in love with a young girl with extraordinary abilities. Baltasar and Blimunda's bond is forged in the aftermath of a brutal auto-da-fe, where women are burned at the stake. Their love becomes a source of strength, but it also draws unwanted attention from those who seek to suppress it. As the Crown and the Church clash, a third figure emerges, driven by a fantastical dream of flight. Padre Bartolomeu Lourenco's vision of a flying machine sparks a chain reaction of events that will test the boundaries of faith, reason, and the human spirit. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of early modern Portugal, this novel explores the complexities of love, power, and the human condition.
