lispector's writing is absolutely divine, so this definitely won't be my last of hers. this one however seemed a bit too scattered for me to be completely able to follow her trains of thought, i often missed the points or simply didn't understand what she was trying to say. maybe that's on me though, i dunno. still an exciting author to have found !!

Very difficult to give a rating as it was a challenging book of stream of thought. Beautifully written but at times non-sensical.

Magical. The perfect read for me and anyone entering a transition period in their life. Lush, dreamlike sentences that demand rereading. I have been bewitched by Lispector.
