About This Book

A peça abre num salão palaciano onde visitantes e criados comentam a chegada de uma jovem sobrinha trazida de um colégio e os boatos que cercam a mãe dela, cuja vida passada marcou a família. Ao longo dos atos, conversas privadas e cenas domésticas revelam tentativas de sondar o caráter da jovem, que oscila entre candura encantadora e travessura inquietante, despertando admiração, preocupação e curiosidade nos parentes. Tramas secundárias expõem intrigas sociais, laços financeiros e relações ambíguas entre vizinhos e parentes, enquanto o drama concentra-se na tensão entre herança moral e vontade individual.
