1 Orphans of Empire : Saudade by Suneeta Peres Da Costa Sujatha Fernandes , 2019 single work essay
— Appears in: Sydney Review of Books , April 2019;

'Towards the end of the novella Saudade, as the now teenage protagonist Maria-Cristina, the daughter of Goan immigrants in Angola, sits facing the Mozambican family servant Caetano on the eve of Angolan independence, she realizes that they are both ‘orphans of Empire’. The author, Suneeta Peres da Costa, has given us an evocative language for understanding the liminality of these two characters. They are both orphans or soon-to-be orphans, and also abandoned as Portuguese colonial rule crumbles in the 1970s.'  (Introduction)
