“Set in a dazzlingly artistic, affluent, and multicultural Lisbon around the time of the 1755 earthquake, Stephanie Renee dos Santos’s debut novel, Cut from the Earth, is the richly imagined history of the legendary master tile artist, known to us today only by his enigmatic initials, PMP. Dos Santos is a truly new and original voice in historical fiction.” — Mary Sharratt, award-winning bestselling author Illuminations and Revelations

“A gripping, rich story of a small devoted family of tile-makers in 18^th century Lisbon. The father Pêro fights for the freedom of slaves; his artist wife must hide her gifts as he tries to protect her from the ever-threatening Inquisition. In a race against time to buy the freedom of a loved older slave, the earth erupts, a tidal wave crashes into the harbor, much of the city crumbles, and Pêro’s deep faith is shaken. Gorgeous writing leaps through this vivid story of an imperfect, loving man as one little family fights for its life and its principles. I read it breathlessly to the last page, sometimes with tears in my eyes.” — Stephanie Cowel, author of Claude and Camille: a novel of Monet, American Book Winner
