Summary

Martha Batalha: The Invisible Life of Eurydice Guzmao

An exciting novel about two courageous women who, each in their own way, will try to fight for emancipation in the patriarchal Brazilian society of the 1940s.

The lives of sisters Guide and Eurydice Guzmao are strikingly similar to the lives of countless other women born in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the twentieth century, raised to be only good wives. While Guida bravely takes her life into her own hands and disappears from the family home without a word, Eurydika becomes an exemplary housewife and comfort to her parents. Over time, her dissatisfaction grows, and this indomitable woman comes up with a series of creative ventures in order to escape from the monotonous family life and fight for her own happiness.

Reading about the misfortunes that befell Guido and Eurydice, we meet a whole series of characters: the neighborhood gossip, grumpy fathers, a former prostitute now a nanny, one of the first millionaires of the Republic and a grown-up mother's son determined to finally find happiness with a woman who is not for him. mother.

The novel Invisible Life by Euridis Guzmao in a charming, entertaining, but also ironic way shows a society that restrains the creativity and independence of women, forces them to serve the patriarchy, but also strong female characters who defy all limitations, insisting on living according to their own standards.

We have before us the feminist debut of an author whom critics compare to Isabel Allende and Elena Ferrante.
