You know what, I did not understand a single thing that happened but it was vibes!!!! Def have to re-read, I think I'll appreciate it more when I'm older


6/10/25: well, I am a year older in both life and Lispector, and I do appreciate this much more now! A story about a woman trying to find herself within the environment set for her (like many other Lispector stories). I cannot get the image of Joana cupping sea water and frantically drinking it down; so beautiful.
