Amor cruel, amor vingador
by Maria José de Queiroz
"One novella and five shorter tales present passion crimes, each the result of 'cruel, vengeful love,' in a declared Freudian line. Written with authority and elegance, each tale has a final twist in the tradition of a well-made thriller. Ably fashions vocabulary and syntax according to setting"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
