This woman was CRAZY.

I read this for the first time lucidly like she intended. I will return to read it again with analysis—there is so much to learn [about life] from Lispector.

This was a very interesting read, it’s as though you are walking through the author’s mind. I’d say that it can be a bit challenging but enlightening. I liked it although it was difficult at times, I think that I’m not smart enough to fully appreciate and understand the book.
