Los Maia

The subtle shifts in social status and morals really stood out to me. I wonder what inspired the author's critique of the upper class during that era.

The way the characters’ lives seem intertwined with societal decay made me think about whether the ending was truly meant to be or if the characters were doomed from the start.

The city almost feels like a character itself. I'm curious if the author drew from personal experience or extensive research to craft such a vivid environment.
