A Casa da Paixão

Rate this book
Marta, órfã de mãe desde o nascimento, é criada por sua velha ama e pelo pai, um homem extremamente zeloso e incestuosamente atraído pela filha. Jerônimo, jovem pretendente da protagonista, é sua grande oportunidade de libertação. Estes quatro personagens convivem ao longo das de fortes nuanças psicológicas e eróticas, que jamais resvalam para a obscenidade. Nélida Piñon mergulha fundo na personalidade de Marta, explorando seus conflitos, dramas, frustrações e paixões em um jogo ficcional que aproxima o leitor dos personagens. Escrita em uma linguagem densa e poética, A casa da paixão revela uma Nélida tão brilhante quanto em seus outros romances.
