The aesthetics of memory and confession in Maria Moura's memoir

Coming to the conclusion of this work was not easy. Travelling along the paths trodden by Rachel de Queiroz was a great adventure given that her characters travelled along paths never before trodden by women in their own context. In view of this it can be said that her characters are women beyond their time who faced challenges without letting them get them down. Even in the face of adversity they configured themselves between memories and confessions in order to (re)construct their lives.
