Filipa Silva liked Maria Carmo's review of Odeio o Meu Chefe: "Though I love this Author's books, compared with previous ones I enjoyed this one less. It does not mean it is not enjoyable and funny (I also compliment her on illustrating it herself) but I am just used to more from her. Maria Carmo, Lisbon 03 Oct..." Read more of this review »

Quotes by Filipa Fonseca Silva

“We spend our lives in such a hurry, so self-centred, that we forget the simple act of observing the life that’s simmering all around us. Looking others in the eye, seeing more than faces. Maybe that’s why we feel so lonely.”
― Filipa Fonseca Silva, The Strange Year of Vanessa M.
