Lady Bobs, Her Brother and I
A romance of the Azores
CRÍTICAS
«An epistolary novel published in 1905, now in a new edition, Lady Bobs, Her Brother and I joins the literature of the Azores or literature that has the archipelago as its theme, and owes much to the zeal of the translator and editor Manuel Menezes de Sequeira, who presents it and, step by step, annotates with maximum attention the biographical, literary and Azorean contexts, in favor of a better understanding and enjoyment for contemporary readers. A truly exemplary edition, therefore, which must be enthusiastically welcomed».
Vasco Rosa
«Lady Bobs, Her Brother and I is a nice balance of feminine gaiety, lots of humor and virtuous elegance at the crossroads between travel literature and epistolary romance. Written after a voyage of São Miguel at the beginning of the 20th century. Amidst descriptions of rural landscapes that light up or fade away depending on the vagaries of the weather, the American traveler’s sensitive gaze captures the island’s people, places and customs, weaving a narrative anchored in the fertile marriage between strangeness, equivocations, irony and fascination. An essential book, finally published in the Azores».
