Bentinho Santiago, cosseted only child of a rich widow, lives next
door to Capitu, the daughter of a lowly government official. As
childhood friendship turns to adolescent love, an obstacle to the
union exists in the form of a vow made by Bentinho s mother before
his birth: her son is to be a priest. The lovers situation appears
hopeless, but resourceful Capitu is not easily discouraged. De
Assis weaves a powerful and ultimately tragic story of love and
disillusionment, full of the subtle irony that is the hallmark of
his writing. In Capitu, his enigmatic heroine, he has also created
one of the most fascinating characters in Brazilian fiction."
