New novel "A Bliss Abroad" by Djuze' D'Erriba is released,

"A Bliss Abroad" by Djuze' D'Erriba has been released worldwide. This 142-page novel follows Paolo Pina, an English teacher from Cape Verde who chooses to leave the comfort and stability of his life in pursuit of the American Dream. Driven by the promise of prosperity and new experiences in the United States, Paolo moves to Boston but fails to find satisfaction - and instead must confront discomfort, doubt, and the consequences of uprooting his Cape Verdean life.

As the story unfolds, Paolo contends with isolation and loneliness, questions the motives of the new people he meets, and learns painful lessons about the world beyond his idyllic bubble. From his move to Boston, a troubling trip to China with the Peace Corps, and memories of his youth in Cape Verde, Paolo's story spans continents and cultures, each offering insight into the human condition, including the capacity to take advantage of one another.

Throughout this vivid, emotionally charged novel, readers will find reflections of their own doubts and concerns about their place in the world. Paolo's poignant longing for something greater - and confusion about what that might be - are relatable to people from all walks of life, and D'Erriba's masterful prose captures these often-ambiguous feelings with incredible clarity.

Exploring the nuances of self-perception, the distance between reality and desire, culture shock, and hopeful resilience, the book pulls readers into wholly original story that combines triumph and tragedy into a beautiful, complex tapestry of the human experience.

A Bliss Abroad (ISBN: 9781966074182) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Barnes & Noble and Amazon. The paperback retails for $9.99, and the ebook retails for $2.99. Review copies and interviews are available upon request.
