[Luke]

Dora, Doralina, Rachel de Queiroz, translated from Portuguese by Dorothy S. Loos, 1975, Brazil, NOVEL

"...Married off by her mother to a man she does not love, told what to wear and eat, Dora's journey to reclaim herself is full of both discovery and rage....Dora, Doralina is an intimate, realistic, and vivid glimpse of woman's struggle for independence, for a life in which she owns her actions, her pleasure, and her pain."
