Subtitle: AND THE LOVE THAT REMAINS

Blurb:

SAOUDADE AND THE LOVE THAT REMAINS is an exploration of longing, memory, and the traces that remain when something - or someone - is no longer within reach. Drawing on the layered meaning of saudade, the book moves between absence and presence, loss and tenderness, past and possibility. Through rich, emotionally charged imagery, Modou Dieng Yacine reflects on the complexity of love, the weight of memory, and the quiet hope of carrying what is gone into what comes next.

The etymology of Saoudade, Soudade, or Saudade: [Saudade is] the memory of having enjoyed things in times past that will never return; the sorrow of not enjoying them in the present, or of only enjoying them in memory; and the desire and hope of returning to the former state of happiness in the future.
