In the Brazilian literary scene, a new voice emerges with strength and sensitivity: writer and journalist Marcos Morelli presents his first work of fiction, titled “How Many Wars Can Fit in the Same Heart?”, which is already available for purchase on the Opera Editorial website.

The plot, which delves deeply into the complexities of love and human relationships, revolves around Adriano, the protagonist of the book, who faces a surprising twist in his life. The discovery that Eduardo, his great love from adolescence, is his new neighbor in the apartment in São Paulo, opens old wounds and initiates a whirlwind of emotions. The problem is that now Eduardo is married, complicating this unexpected reconnection even further.

The story of Adriano and Eduardo is not just a common tale of lost and found love, but a profound reflection on the complexities of human relationships. “Since the pre-sale started, many people have approached me to share stories similar to the one in the synopsis. That impressed me. Although it’s fiction, it’s something that can happen to anyone. There’s a reader identification with what is being told,” Morelli reveals.
