Francine Maessen's review

Jan 16, 2020

it was amazing

bookshelves: realism-and-naturalism

Oh that was a dose of realism I had been longing for for too long. Eça is marvellous. I did not expect it to be this good or this forward (but I guess one of the strength of realism is that I tend to underestimate how far it is willing to go).

Also, I really miss Portugal now. The descriptions of Lisbon and the lands surrounding it are so lively all I want to do is stroll amongst quintas.
