In 2025, Luísa Sobral releases her first novel, Not All Trees Die Standing, inspired by a story that especially touched her, that of Maria Feliz, and that did not fit in the song she dedicated to her. I needed more space, more time. Moving from a real and tragic case to fiction, the novel alternates between two protagonists, Emmi and M., whose lives are intertwined in the most painful 50 years of Germany’s recent history.
