Seashells don't talk.
by Taylane Cruz
2024
Interior illustration and cover for a book by Taylane Cruz published by Harpens Collins. In the 27 short stories of *As conchas não falam* (The Shells Don't Speak), Taylane Cruz presents characters who sometimes suffer from pain and love, but who are also capable of healing. In a kind of collective web, they unite in a single shell, like an endless spiral that connects, indirectly or directly, all the emotions narrated in the book's pages. Using a free and delicate writing style, the author tackles difficult themes such as abandonment and abuse, and also addresses inspiring themes such as love and forgiveness. The result is a powerful work that evokes a range of emotions.
