Blink If You Love Me - David Moscovich - Bog

Moscovich's Blink If You Love Me, set in modern-day Portugal, is a novel about the intimacies and cultural, socio-linguistic idiosyncrasies inherent in marrying into and cohabiting with a close-knit family as an outsider. Struggling with his adopted tongue, the narrator of the novel is cursed with a tendency to imbue everyday speech with innuendo at large family gatherings. His wife Eva's unique perspective and approach to coping proves to be transformative, as the newlyweds adapt to their ridiculously disharmonious lifestyle.
