We are always apprentices.
The first overseas female author I put into the list of my favourite and my influencer.

I truly am beginning to believe that Lispector is one of the greatest writers to have ever lived. The way she completely transforms language and grammar is captivating. This story is so fantastic and I found myself relating to Lóri a lot. I can’t wait to read more of her work.
