Eliane Camolesi - guest on October 2024

Eliane’s vivid portrayal of the young Jewish boy, Solly, in “Locomotiva dos Sonhos.” Solly’s struggles provide a stark, unflinching look at the challenges he faces in a foreign country. Unaware of the language and culture, and marked by the stigma of antisemitism. These early chapters are heartbreaking and not easy to read, but they are crucial in understanding the character’s development and the significance of the changes that follow.

Solly persevered in the face of adversity. As a man, he follows the inspiring journey of enlightenment, graduating as an Aerospace Engineer and then pursuing a Ph.D. at Stanford University. Eliane skillfully navigates themes of identity, belonging, and Solly’s responsibility that comes with privilege. The protagonist’s determination to use his newfound advantages for innovation adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, raising thought-provoking questions about social responsibility and the ripple effects of kindness.

The book doesn’t shy away from difficult topics and ultimately leaves the reader with a sense of hope and the belief in the potential for positive change.

Congratulations, dear friend, Eliane! I truly enjoyed reading “Locomotiva dos Sonhos.” Camilla Hillberg
