Ich glaub es liegt an mir, aber das ist eins der blödesten Bücher, die ich je gelesen hab. Hab gefühlt nix von der Story verstanden. Die erste Hälfte des Buches passiert auch eigtl nichts, dann gibts immer wieder random Zeitsprünge, die gar nicht explizit genannt werden. Die zweite Hälfte hat dann etwas mehr Handlung, aber ist durch den verworrenen Erzählstil auch eher unverständlich.
Von dem was ich verstanden hab, ist es zusätzlich noch ne traurige Geschichte, aber weil ich die Charaktere die meiste Zeit nicht verstanden habe und die Beziehungen untereinander nicht logisch waren, war ich nicht investiert.

Não tenho um quark que seja de empatia para com histerias românticas. Mas a escrita da Agustina tudo torna tremendamente apelativo.

Neste romance, baseado numa história verídica do século dezanove, Agustina Bessa Luís descreve-nos sobretudo a relação entre três personagens , Camilo Castelo Branco, escritor de folhetins, José Augusto, morgado do Lodeiro e Fanny Owen, filha do coronel inglês Hugh Owen. Para além da evolução desta relação, que acaba em tragédia, a autora descreve de forma contundente a vida da sociedade burguesa do Porto e de algumas quintas do Douro. O amor, a paixão, a amizade, a traição, o adultério, a doença e a morte são os ingredientes fundamentais, utilizados de forma magistral, para uma descrição profunda dos ambientes e sobretudo do relacionamento das personagens.
Este romance foi adaptado ao cinema, pelo realizador Manoel de Oliveira, no filme Francisca, 1981.

In Fanny Owen, Agustina Bessa Luís, whose writing and talent for developing a historical fresco had already seduced me in [b:A Corte do Norte|11490434|A Corte do Norte|Agustina Bessa-Luís|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1306708633l/11490434._SY75_.jpg|16425718], stages a host of characters, in addition to the beautiful and enigmatic Fanny Owen, in particular, that of the writer Camilo Castelo Branco, to whom we owe [b:Amor de Perdição|909710|Amor de Perdição|Camilo Castelo Branco|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348294752l/909710._SX50_.jpg|894845], considered the most extraordinary romance novel of the Iberian Peninsula.
In a novel of manners in the period novel (mid-19th century), Fanny Owen depicts love as the daily life of these people from northern Portugal and the intrigues of all kinds that go with it. A tremendous historical fresco by one of the great ladies of Portuguese literature.

Um livro extremamente bem escrito. A autora disseca as personagens - que, de facto, existiram - de forma brilhante, nomeadamente as suas reflexões, sentimentos, motivações. Recomendo a qualquer um a leitura deste livro, de uma autora de excelência.

Oh God, boring and uneventful plot, the characters had potential but somehow ended up being as uninteresting as everything else. If I didn’t have to read this book for school I would have stopped reading it not even reaching halfway. Would not recommend, what a disappointment. Now I don’t want to read “A Sibila”, fearing it’s going to be as painful to read as this book was.
