'Ins Pedrosa has enjoyed such tremendous success with her novels because her themesbrimming with powerful emotions, human frailties, and the misunderstandings of existencegrab hold of readers page by page, allowing them to lose themselves completely.' Oggimedia(Italy)

'Still I Miss Youdemonstrates all the literary gifts of this author who, born in 1962, embodies the new post-Saramago and post-Lobo Antunes literature of Portugal. The novel is a heartbreaking tale of love, abruptly ended, but recovered in the voice of the woman who has suddenly died, a literary conceit demanding total mastery.' Bravo!(Brazil)
