Description
In these luminous, unsettling stories, Leopoldina inhabits a world where miracles feel ordinary—yet their presence only sharpens the questions of faith, desire, and control. As her life intersects with Ludovica and Leonor, belief becomes less a comfort than a lens through which everyday choices reveal their hidden costs. Silvina Ocampo’s distinctive style—dreamlike, precise, and quietly disturbing—turns the familiar into something uncanny, blending wonder with psychological tension. Across these tales, the book explores how people negotiate reality, what they choose to believe, and how longing can transform even the most “miraculous” moments into something haunting.
