First published in Portugal 1966.
Dora was widowed at 26, with a young daughter Lisa, and has spent 10 years in her "career" as widow. She managed to find a job with a friend's help, and her MIL Ana has helped her raise her daughter as needed. Now, her MIL has revealed a surprising secret, and her daughter is 17 and deciding on university vs stewardess (because in the 60s stewardess was a glamorous job!). Dora decides it is time for a change.
This novel is a out grief, youth, and the loss of youth. I really wished the intro had discussed 1960s Portugal and placed it into the context of when/where it was written.
Were young widows expected to remarry immediately? How would society have looked at Manuela? What about Ana and her ill husband? And Lisa? Were all of these women rule-breakers, going against the Catholic grain? Except maybe Lisa?… (plus d'informations)
