I didn't always understand what she was saying, and yes, this was hard to follow at many points, but this truly is a masterpiece. Lispector writes the untold truths about the simple truths of life and experiencing life. She prose felt like poetry it was that good, I haven't read writing this good in a while, and I can't wait to reread this and gain an even deeper understanding of the novel. This definitely isn't for everyone, but for anyone who considered themselves introspective/overthinker/interested in existentialism absolutely give it a chance.
