Letters to Pará

A fax from São Paulo leads Henrike into a family’s decades-long silence — a cozy historical sleep story set in the Algarve in December 2000.

The Archivist of Silves is a cozy historical fiction audiobook series set in the municipal archive of a small town in the Portuguese Algarve. Henrike Steinhoff came for the records and stayed for the town — and she has a memory for things that don’t quite add up: a gap in a file, a name that changes spelling, a story everyone tells the same way.
