I get it. I get why Lispector is an author that many love. But like other authors like her, the border between liking and loving her has a thin line. So yes, her writings might not be for everyone, but this is one of the books that I felt compelled to read, picked it up at the right time and ended up loving it. Even amidst my confusion at first as I get used to her writing style, but once you get past that, you'll find that the almost-subconscious-dreamlike style that she wrote suited the whole theme of this book; which was about the struggles of women in their mundane everyday lives.

I feel with the three stories, the roundabout way she narrates each character in their own state, where three different women lives entirely different lives, but is blanketed with the same emotions : Loneliness. The questions of the hows and the whys of being a woman and the complex nature of motherhood itself was explored in such a way that felt like I was brought along through the stream of consciousness from Lispector. Its almost like, one minute you won't understand what she's saying but in the same sentence, you'll be able to grasp what she wanted to convey. That for me is ingenius of her, but its definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

I had definitely enjoyed my first short entry to her works. Definitely more to come :)))))))
