I had difficulty getting into this story of a mysterious beauty and the men in the gold mining camps of Brazil she torments and drives crazy with desire.

A beautiful, lyrical novel. The images of the sea are haunting, and contribute beautifully to the story.

This is the first translation by Gregory Rabassa that has left me flat. The story appears compelling enough, but the pace and the language were uninspired. I was not drawn in, and, ultimately, unable to finish.
