Product Description
INIMIGAS INTIMAS i uma fascinante saga familiar inspirada nos costumes do nordeste, a regico mais pobre e ignorante do Brasil e de comportamento semi-feudal ati os dias de hoje. I la que a agco se passa, no permodo histsrico compreendido entre 1954 a 1974, pois a exemplo dos romances mais famosos do mundo, aqueles que marcaram sua ipoca, aqui tambim a autora, Joyce Cavalcante, usou como pano de fundo a histsria real de um povo para dar mais forga e veracidade `s personagens fictmcias.

A narrativa i ininterrupta, ou seja, sem a quebra por capmtulos. Sendo a estsria muito vibrante, o leitor se sente grato por essa estrutura tco confortavel, ja que nada lhe desvia a atengco.

O romance conta a estsria de um prepotente fazendeiro nordestino que vive maritalmente com quatro mulheres debaixo do mesmo teto: sua mulher legmtima e mais trjs outras criadinhas da ACasa Grande@, denominagco usada antigamente pelos escravos para se referir ` casa onde patrues moravam. Com essas quatro mulheres o fazendeiro tem doze filhos, todos de olhos verdes como ele. Ele ss considera porim seus filhos verdadeiros aqueles nascidos dentro do matrimtnio.

Como essa situagco, que parecera inverossmmil aos olhos de um leitor nco familiarizado com cultura tco primitiva, se processara, i assunto a ser descoberto lendo-se o livro. Mas no nordeste do Brasil tudo i possmvel. Os costumes dessa regico patriarcal perdida nos dias de hoje, eram, e ainda sco, quase parte de uma obra surrealista. A convivjncia cotidiana entre as quatro mulheres disputando o mesmo homem, i que da origem ao tmtulo: Inimigas Mntimas.

JOYCE CAVALCANTE i autora de sete romances. I tambim contista, tendo participado de oito antologias, e escreve crtnicas para varios jornais. Nascida no nordeste do Brasil, em Fortaleza, incomparavel cidade equatorial cheia de mar, sol e vida; ela tem focalizado seu olhar criativo na vida resignada de geragues de mulheres criadas para rezar, casar e morrer. Entrelagando estes elementos em todos os seus romances e contos, a autora se tonou um dos nomes mais comentados da literatura de seu pams.
