Under Lisbon's Rain (Nomadic Fragments Book 8)

"Under Lisbon's Rain" is an intimate and courageous account from someone living firsthand through the joys and disappointments of immigrant life. Henry Bugalho takes us on an emotional journey through Portugal—its landscapes, its contradictions, and above all, its people. From warm welcomes to painful experiences of xenophobia, the author reflects on belonging, identity, and what it means to try to build a home away from home. In direct, sensitive prose, Bugalho exposes without filters the behind-the-scenes realities of life outside Brazil: the cold rain, the stifling bureaucracies, the genuine affection, and the cultural shocks that shape and transform an immigrant into a perpetual foreigner. Part of the Nomadic Fragments series, this book is more than a travel diary—it's an open letter about fragility, resistance, and difficult choices. An invitation to empathy and critical thinking in times of walls and borders.
