Saudade: The Life that Remains
Historical Fiction
Some believe that the term "Saudade" originated during the Portuguese Age of Discovery. It reflects the sorrow of those embarking on perilous voyages, often resulting in shipwrecks or loss in combat. Families, especially women and children, endured great hardship in their absence.
Others simply think it means 'The Love That Remains.'
