I would definitely read other things from Lispector, but this book wasn't for me.
I loved Lispector's style and found the themes very interesting, the journey that Lori is going through is deep and I could relate to her a lot.
I hated their relationship though and couldn't really get past that unfortunately. The gendered understanding of being man and woman were too deeply ingrained.
