About this ebook
"Our disagreement has a natural explanation. I am a single girl, full of complications, dreams, ambitions, and poetry; you are already a woman of the house, a calm and happy wife, soon to be a mother; you see things through a different lens."
Raquel and her married friend Luísa exchange lively letters in this brief tale that amply illustrates Machado de Assis's knack for creating sympathetic female characters.
