A literary phenomenon in Japan, Hunchback is an extraordinary and thrilling debut novel about sex, disability and power.

REVIEWS
História curta mas inigualável
Bea
Um livro cheio de wit que nos deixa a refletir sobre os desejos e a validade de um corpo inválido e os seus direitos reprodutivos.
Vulnerável e emotivo
Barbara Requixa
Conta a história de uma rapariga com dificuldades motoras, que tem uma vida cheia de desafios e que vive quase isolada da sociedade. Adorei o quão sincera foi a escrita, numa história que nos conta os desejos mais íntimos e os ressentimentos com que ela vive.
