Synopsis
Complex and hauntingly beautiful, Lygia Fagundes Telles’s most acclaimed novel is a journey into the inner lives of three young women, each revealing her secrets and loves, each awaiting a destiny tied to the colorful and violent world of modern Brazil. Sensual and wealthy Lorena dreams of a tryst with a married man. Unhappy Lia burns with a frantic desire to free her imprisoned fiancé. Glamorous Ana Clara, unable to escape her past, falls toward a tragedy of drugs and obsession. Intimate and unforgettable, The Girl in the Photograph creates an extraordinary picture of the wonder and the darkness that come to possess a woman’s mind, and stands as one of the greatest novels to come out of Brazil in the late twentieth century.

Lygia Fagundes Telles (1923 ) was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and is one of the most respected authors in Brazilian literature.

Review
““Telles’ novels and short stories probe the psyche of the Sao Paulo bourgeoisie . . . Telles examines the moral decay of the middle classes, viewed through the experiences of young heroines who are trapped between their own dreams and their rigid social class.”” (Isabel Vincent - The Globe and Mail)
““A master of communicating a sense of wonder and fantasy.”” (Raymond L. Williams - Columbia Guide to the Latin American Novel Since 1945)
