The granddaughter

The granddaughter's events of this novel take place ten years after the peasant revolution witnessed in the Alentejo region of Portugal in 1974, to improve the lives of agricultural workers and small farmers. However, nothing changed, as widespread poverty continued, pushing the young girl Rosa to become a servant, but this does not mean that this novel falls within the category of new realism novels, it differs from it entirely. It is a display of characters engaging in loud humorous situations, rising from tragedy. In this confusing and perplexing book, Alfonso Crosh presents us with a fictional work that transcends reality, making satire a beautiful style for many questions, as Professor Borja stands as a rival to the pleasure philosopher Diogenes Dindanda, and the shepherd Arie’s lantern becomes similar to the pessimistic and sarcastic Diogenes’ lantern. We are faced with a novel that combines joy and sorrow, a novel that does not stop making us laugh as we delve into it, and when we finish laughing, we do not notice ourselves while we cry. #Marie Helene Biunik
