This family\u2019s downfall, peppered by stories of decadence, adultery, incest, and madness, is related through a variety of narrative devices, including letters, diaries, memoirs, statements, confessions, and accounts penned by the various characters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Salacious, literary, and introspective, Cardoso\u2019s masterpiece marked a turning away from the social realism fashionable in 1930s Brazilian literature and had a huge impact on the writing of Cardoso\u2019s life-long friend and greatest admirer\u2014Clarice Lispector. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><div id=\"goodreadsGiveawayWidget205287\"><!-- Show static html as a placeholder in case js is not enabled --><\/p>\n<div class=\"goodreadsGiveawayWidget\" style=\"max-width: 350px;
