Where there are moments with a pale face, faint walls, where dim rooms waver on the verge of fainting, blurry things swing in the corners of the room, where the mist of closed eyes falls - this is the place where one of Brazil's most famous modernist writers, Clarice Lispector, takes her reader. The wild heart of the main character of the novel, the headstrong Joana, can be guessed from her introspection and the feelings that the surrounding people and life events arouse in her during her childhood, falling in love and marriage. The novel published by an unknown 23-year-old young woman created a real sensation when it was published with its novel and very personal style and gave the writer the nickname Hurricane Clarice.
