At once tragic and personal, visionary and transgressive, these pieces, in their vital intimacy, read not only as letters to the dead, but also as incantations or prayers, expressing the passion, spirituality, and intensity of a woman who lived a tumultuous, rebellious life and refused to conform to the expectations of her time and surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376701112543,"sku":"9781943813827","price":18.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/QyMvMp02Dn9781943813827.webp?v=1789221730"},{"product_id":"sentimental-doubts-paperback","title":"Sentimental Doubts - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSentimental Doubts, here translated into English for the first time by Jessica Sequeira, was iconic Chilean writer ­Teresa Wilms Montt's first book.
