Myriam Cyr puts forth that argument with research and logic that Mariana is the true author of "The Letters of a Portuguese Nun". Ms. Cyr does a good job of explaining about the history of Portugal during this time frame, I hadn't realized how France was involved in fighting against the Spanish. I also didn't know how the nuns lived during this time frame, they had perhaps a better life - at least those of the nobility - than women who were married off to men. Terrific background for a really wonderful little story. Ms. Cyr talks about Mariana's life, and in a way that reads like fiction; giving her reasons for why she believes Mariana wrote "The Letters".
If you are a fan of history I would recommend this well-researched story. It makes me want to read more - and isn't that the best recommendation, when a book makes you want to continue reading?… (lisätietoja)
