Os Maias by Eça de Queirós
4.0
dark emotional funny informative reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Very well written the only mistake that Eça de Queirós made was making it a slow paced book because this book is actually really interesting. The way that he represents the Portuguese society is so raw and we can even compare it to nowadays (not a lot has changed). The discussions dealing with strong political and social views are really captivating. Recommend it 100% especially if you're Portuguese!
