As Luzes de Leonor

Granddaughter of the Marquises of Távora and later Marquise of Alorna herself, Leonor de Almeida Portugal was a woman unlike any other in her country's letters and politics. The novel keeps watch over her most intimate hours, drawn by her excess and her endless struggle between head and heart, and follows a passion that won over the most cultivated minds of the Enlightenment and prepared the way for Portuguese Romanticism.
