There is no Dolores without Mita. But overnight, an inseparable bond is shattered when Mita is sent away to London, and her parents act as if she never even existed.
In our upcoming episode at Women, Life and Science podcast, we sit down with debut author Juliet Faithfull to discuss her deeply personal novel, Liar’s Dice. Set against the dangerous, repressive backdrop of a military dictatorship in Brazil—where ordinary citizens vanish into thin air—Dolores begins to suspect the unthinkable: Is her sister really gone, or are her parents lying?
Determined to uncover the truth, Dolores will lie, gamble, and steal. But her most powerful weapon isn't a weapon at all—it's literacy. Desperate to reach across the distance, she learns to write just so she can keep sending letters into the void, hoping against hope that someone is listening.
Tune in as Juliet opens up about family secrets, the survival of the human spirit, and the transformative power of the written word.
