With her two published novels, Desesterro (2015, appearing here as Out of Earth) and Meu corpo ainda quente (2020), she won the SESC, Biblioteca Nacional and Jabuti prizes, as well as being shortlisted for the Sao Paulo literature prize. Sophie Lewis is a translator and an editor.

This remarkable Brazilian novel has been garlanded with multiple awards and accolades since its initial publication, as Desesterro: the prestigious Sesc Prize for Literature, the Machado de Assis award and the Jabuti award. The story follows four generations of female characters as they navigate the hardships of life in the parched landscape of the Brazilian sertao. Male figures are peripheral, but are also revealed as the origin of much of the suffering in the novel, generating for the women a kind of exile not only in relation to the land but to their sense of self. This is a ground-breaking feminist work, a bracing modernist fable, of sorts, formally reminiscent of A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing.

First translation into English of Desesterro, the multiple prize-winning novel by Sheyla Smanioto first published in Brazil, 2015
‘Full of originality and lyricism ... it’s a punch to the stomach, in the best sense. At times dark, at times vibrating with hope in every line.' Larissa Bezerra, O Diário de Maringá
"God's the one with the ideas, people just live through them..."
