3.0

this is my first clarice lispector, but it won't be my last.

choosing these 3 short stories as an introduction to her works makes me intrigued to read more from her. although, i feel these stories are confusing to me at most. i feel like i didnt truly understand the underlining meaning, maybe if i give this a read in 2-3 years i'll grow to understand it more. i thoroughly enjoyed the short stories as time went on reading them, family ties is my favorite out of the three.
