This is a must-read

Wow, what an amazing book. It was an assignment for class- i had to read the book over a weekend, and i did, entirely exdpecting to hate a novel that i was forced to read in 2 days. On that monday when i returned to school I had the pleasure of meeting Edgard Telles Ribeiro and talking with him about this amazing book... Its truely become one of my favorite books.. intriguing, so well-thought out, and on top of the writing style being unlike anything ive ever read before, phenomenal, the story is wonderful as well. And I was shocked to find out when i spoke with the author that its actually based on a true story that he had heard from a friend.. This book is definitely a must-read...

A quiet classic......

This book started out as one that I picked up out of the bargain book bin, because I simply couldn't resist the title. It rapidly became, and remains, a book that I return to again and again. On the surface, this book is the story of a young woman delving into a relative's past. However, that which would seem a mere memoir is presented in such a way as to develop into a truly memorable experience. The translation is poetic. And in Ghuillermina we have a classic heroine: a girl who withstands the trials of her youth in quiet bravery, who consciously chooses to take charge of her own life, and who, in doing so, comes into her own. Within a simple story about a young woman exploring her family and her past, Ribeiro has woven a tale that is both a rite of passage and a celebration of life.This book is not only linguistically gorgeous, with a colorful and adventurous heroine, it is also a delightful "what if," a guilty pleasure of sorts. Definately worth sharing, as I have, with many a girlfriend!
