A surreal love story told in streams-of-consciousness by Lori, a primary school teacher who has a complicated relationship with a man named Ulysses. Hypnotic, introspective, and existential. I had to put this book down multiple times just to relish in the honesty of Lispector's words and how well they reflect love as a mirror into the human condition.
This memoir is like a beautiful map of words or a shapeshifting constellation that connects you to all the different dimensions of yourself and women everywhere. There is a voice to confide in on every page.
An exploration of self discovery in a very honest, human light. This is one of my favorite works of Fiction and I've probably read it three times now.

This memoir is a long walk with your mother. Comical, honest and at times tense.The pages sway from conversations between mother and daughter into the past, where the writer recalls snipbits from the lives of women who lived in her building growing up. Authentic, intermingled experiences of womanhood.
