By Antonio Tabucchi, one of the most renowned voices in European literature and the foremost Italian writer of his generation, The Woman of Porto Pim is made up of enchanting fragments about the archipelago of the Azores. Told by a visiting Italian writer, himself a collector of the inhabitants' legends, relics, and histories, the tales include that of a rich married woman's forbidden love with a humble Azorean fisherman during WWII, and a whaling expedition of eras past.
