After establishing a versatile career in journalism across print, radio, television, and digital platforms, Victor Duarte Faria has expanded his creative repertoire with the release of his first novel, The Beginning of the Days I Have Left.
Faria, who previously authored The Sun in a New Way (2020) — a collection of immigrant stories centered around Maringá — now ventures into fiction with a work that seeks to transform personal silence into collective voices and scars into living memories.
Described by the author as “a journey without an address through Brazil, a sensitive stroll through time,” the novel pays tribute to feminine strength, black dignity, and resilience amid adversity. It explores the lives of multiple generations, inviting readers to reflect critically on Brazilian society and its diverse people.
Published through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), The Beginning of the Days I Have Left is printed in the United States and available for purchase on Amazon. The physical edition is priced at R$55, while the Kindle version is offered at half the cost and can be downloaded immediately upon purchase.
Victor Faria expressed that the novel is a heartfelt endeavor, crafted with sincerity and dedication, aiming to capture the universal within the intimate.
