About the Book

"Os Acompanhantes" conta a comovente história de um compositor através da realidade que é cuidar de quem se ama. Enquanto sua esposa é puxada para a escuridão da doença de Alzheimer, ele se lembra de seu próprio caminho para encontrar a luz e dos passos que deu para evitar que a vida de um cuidador desmoronasse aos pedaços.
Enfrenta as sete fases da doença e as sete provações que qualquer cuidador deve superar, os erros cometidos, os problemas encontrados e as questões físicas e metafísicas decorrentes.
Inicialmente intitulado "Cartas da Linha da Frente", em uma feroz batalha de dez anos contra a doença de sua esposa, abordando a morte, o tempo, a burocracia, o dinheiro e a família, o livro "Os Acompanhantes" mostra como a doença atua como catalisador, intensificando as reações das pessoas sem que ela mesma seja consumida, ao ponto de transformar o amor em ódio.
No entanto, o narrador descobre, sobretudo, como a música é vital para sua esposa e para ele próprio, enquanto paliativo único. E, em seu caminho semanal até ao estúdio de gravação onde canta seus sentimentos que sua esposa já não consegue ouvir, ele encontra Maria, que primeiro o incentiva e depois o inspira. E assim, se vê mergulhado em duas histórias de amor: uma trágica e outra mágica.
Das "Highlands" da Escócia às grandes planícies dos EUA, da Grécia à Normandia e à Córsega, a música e o amor se encontram interligados em um romance que, aos poucos, constitui um kit de sobrevivência para todas as pessoas que lidam de perto com uma doença mortal.
E se no final somente a música e o amor o ajudam a sobreviver, o narrador ilustra como música e amor andam de mãos dadas, sendo tão vitais para os pacientes quanto para as pessoas que os acompanham. Iluminando o texto de "Os Acompanhantes", as letras de suas canções de amor servem de trilha sonora para o romance, o transformando em algo único: um livro que não só nos fala, mas também nos brinda com música.
Aliás, talvez o que melhor resuma "Os Acompanhantes" seja a faixa-título do álbum "The Escorts"* que acompanha o livro:
" Tanto há a aprender sobre este mundo solitário
Descendo do alto da montanha até ao mar.
Era uma vez... eu amei uma moça
E por um momento estrelado, ela me amou."

Acompanhado por música, impregnado de solidão, transbordando de engenhosidade e humanidade e, em última análise, trespassado de esperança, o livro "Os Acompanhantes" constitui um tributo às profundezas da compaixão e um monumento à frágil alegria da vida.
