Synopsis
«Um romance histórico inovador. Personagem principal, o Convento de Mafra. O escritor aparta-se da descrição engessada, privilegiando a caracterização de uma época. Segue o estilo: "Era uma vez um rei que fez promessas de levantar um convento em Mafra... Era uma vez a gente que construiu esse convento... Era uma vez um soldado maneta e uma mulher que tinha poderes... Era uma vez um padre que queria voar e morreu doido". Tudo, "era uma vez...". Logo a começar por "D. João, quinto do nome na tabela real, irá esta noite ao quarto de sua mulher, D. Maria Ana Josefa, que chegou há mais de dois anos da Áustria para dar infantes à coroa portuguesa a até hoje ainda não emprenhou (...). Depois, a sobressair, essa espantosa personagem, Blimunda, ao encontro de Baltasar. Milhares de léguas andou Blimundo, e o romance correu mundo, na escrita e na ópera (numa adaptação do compositor italiano Azio Corghi). Para a nossa memória ficam essas duas personagens inesquecíveis, um Sete Sóis e o outro Sete Luas, a passearem o seu amor pelo Portugal violento e inquisitorial dos tristes tempos do rei D. João V.»
