A Woman’s Tear: A Tale of Passion, Betrayal, and Redemption

A Woman’s Tear is a passionate and tragic story by Brazilian author Aluísio Azevedo, now beautifully translated into English by Luan Santos.

Set among the rocky shores of Lipari, the novel tells the heartbreaking tale of Rosalina, a young woman caught between innocence, love, and the cruel ambitions of fate. Through vivid imagery and emotional depth, Azevedo paints a portrait of love corrupted by greed, the decay of moral values, and the pure yet destructive nature of first passion.

First published in the 19th century, this timeless classic combines the beauty of romantic prose with the psychological intensity that made Aluísio Azevedo one of Brazil’s most powerful literary voices.

📖 This new translation preserves the lyrical tone and emotional power of the original, making A Woman’s Tear accessible to a new generation of readers who love world literature, tragic romance, and rediscovered classics.
