A bitersweet epic about a father and his only joy in life; his daugther. For a 200 page story she put in a lot of story,characters,historical realism,important messages,symbolism. Also female characters was more human,well rounded as expected from a female classic writer compared to a male one.
Not the best written classic novel but too important story,message to rate 4 stars.

Imaginem que alguem tinha escrito um livro na tradicao do realimo magico no Norte da Europa e no inicio do seculo XX-seria O Imperador de Portugal. Fiquei com vontade de ler mais livros da Selma Lagerlof.
3.5
