Here we are once again to publish one more short story written by a contemporary Brazilian author. This time, we have the pleasure of featuring a story by Adriana Lisboa, award-winning author who has been translated into nine languages and published in thirteen countries.

We've selected "Courtyards" because it's a beautiful collection of childhood memories, experienced with all five senses of a child who spent her vacation time at her grandfather's house.

We hope you enjoy Adriana's work and feel free to comment on it.
