Joyce Cavalccante

JOYCE CAVALCCANTE is a journalist and author of six novels plus several short stories and articles that today appear in eight anthologies. Born in the North East of Brazil, in Fortaleza, a pristine, equatorial city of sun, sea and enthusiasm, she has focused her writer’s eye on the resigned lives of women bred for generations to pray, marry and die. She has woven these elements into all her books, while living in Rio de Janeiro, where she learned about life in the big city, as well as in New York City, Washington D.C., and Sao Paulo, where she currently lives and works.
