»In our twenties, we tend to resist the unexplainable less, because we live in a reality where the impossible has a place. It just needs a chance to come to light.« With a shiny degree in Biology, Olivia leaves her hometown Santiago de Compostela to seek a better life in Germany. There, she finds a job as an au pair and cleaner for the divorced forensic pathologist Lisa. One day, she meets Samuel, who later ends up on Lisa's examination table: suicide. As Lisa begins the autopsy, hundreds of orange butterflies emerge from Samuel's body. Lisa tries to keep this strange event a secret, but Olivia's curiosity drives her to investigate Samuel and the mysterious and incomprehensible butterflies. She meets Emma, Samuel's mother, an unsuccessful actress. Emma shares her son's death on social media and goes viral, the breakthrough as a star finally seems to become a reality. However, Olivia discovers that Emma is not the person everyone thinks she is and decides to investigate Samuel's death together with Lisa. »Os bicos feridos« is the first novel by physicist and author Anna R. Figueiredo and won the Premio Viadutos de Novela among others. With elements of magical realism, Figueiredo tells a story about the significance of social networks in modern life, the complexity of family relationships, motherhood, and the fear of death.
