Glad to Die (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Award winning Rui Cardoso Martins' first novel stems from a bizarre question, based on a real-life incident: what kind of place is it where even the gravedigger takes his own life? We follow a young narrator who carries a terrible secret from Portugal's colonial wars in Africa. The boy lives deep in the Portuguese countryside, which is the same everywhere, but now he can talk to the rest of the world via the Internet. He embarks on an intimate, violent and comic journey through one of the oddest statistical and psychological mysteries in Europe: the astonishing suicide rate in Alentejo, the largest region of southern Portugal.
