Ada or the glow

A brief about the book Since that moment, the knowledge of emotion was born, she glimpsed it by chance the next morning, washing her face and arms over an old-fashioned basin resting on a Rococo-style support, and she had lifted her hair up to her head, and twisted the edges of her nightgown around her waist, which looked like the crown of a flower from which her slender back emerged with prominent ribs that the dress revealed. A fat glazed snake coils around the basin, and when that crawling animal, as it did, stopped to contemplate Eve... a berry-colored soap slipped from the girl's hands as she bent her foot, with the black sock, and she hit the door violently, but the sound of its closing did not reflect the anger of a modest girl, but was closer to the echo of soap bubbles falling onto resonant marble.
