About the author

Alice de Jesus Pereira was born on November 8, 1941, in the parish of Ajuda, in Lisbon.

"I was born with the force of the gale", reports her own, referring to the great cyclone of Lisbon on February 15, 1941.

Daughter of poor and humble parents, homeless in a farm in Ajuda, she is the eighth daughter of a family of thirteen. They lived in a kind of wooden house that had neither water nor light.

At 26 she is the mother of a 10-month pregnancy and her life gains a new light.

The relationship would not continue and on December 22, 1975, he left home with his son and went to live in a pension on Avenida Duque de Loulé in Lisbon, where he paid $ 400 a day just to sleep and take a shower.

"By this time, at age 34, I started to live, and from here I went myself."

Since then, with the ups and downs of life, Alice Pereira comes spoiling us, rewarding and provoking with her writing. Some days more poetic than others, more registered in turbulent heights of his biography, but always with a consistent, explicit and very much his own.

Today Alice Pereira lives in Canha, in the Home of S. Sebastião of Santa Casa da Misericórdia, with a list of endless health problems, but with a serenity and calm that inspires and motivates those with whom she relates.
