What they say
Joana Estrela’s book gives her a beautiful debut in Planeta Tangerina’s catalogue.
Ana Dias Ferreira, Observador newspaper, 27/12/2016
In this patchwork quilt of childhood memories, Joana Estrela captures the relationship between an older and a younger sister with remarkable equilibrium. Using a letter-style narration, the text illustrates the tensions and inevitable push and pull between two children, as seen from the perspective of the older sister.
Andreia Brites, Blimunda magazine, July 2016
Even with an undeniably universal subject, it seems there’s always room for new approaches which, when seen in a book, are quite astounding. That’s what happens with Sister. (…) From now on, Joana Estrela will remain firmly on our radar.
Pedro Miguel Silva, Deus me Livro blog, 03/08/2016
