As Meninas by Lygia Fagundes Telles

flaviasantos's review against another edition

4.0

Entendo a importancia da obra. Entendo sua genialidade. Entendo a narrativa de fluxo de pensamento, no tempo presente, no decorrer de dois dias, na sua efemeridade, na sua leveza, na sua profundidade, na sua superficialidade. E é por isso que a nota foi 4 estrelas.
Porque pessoalmente tive dificuldade de me conectar e de conseguir um ritmo, e talvez por ter lido de forma tão esporádica, só consegui uma fluência nos últimos capítulos - quando temos inclusive um final abrupto que me deixou tipo “QUE”.

Ps: vi agora que levei exatos dois anos e dois meses pra ler

This amazing translation from Portuguese was the inner thoughts of three young women living in a Catholic board house, in Brazil during 1972. Thank you BYU for having this on ILL.
