Synopsis

Here, gathered in one volume, are the stories that made Clarice a Brazilian legend. These stories cover her whole amazing career, from her teenage years to her deathbed. In these pages, we meet teenagers becoming aware of their sexual and artistic powers, humdrum housewives whose lives are shattered by unexpected epiphanies, old people who don’t know what to do with themselves―and in their stories, Clarice takes us through their lives―and hers―and ours.
