Ball of Snakes. Teresa Desqueiro

Deceit, falsehood, indifference, polite omissions — this is the everyday life of a large and seemingly perfectly happy family of the lucky provincial lawyer Louis Kalez, an elderly man who is dying in the arms of his numerous offspring. No.... There were neither open nor secret scandals. How and why did a once-happy family turn into a ball of snakes? Teresa Desqueiro had everything a person needs for happiness. What made the woman abandon her prosperous existence and commit a terrible crime? The novel Teresa Desqueiro, included in the list of the 100 best works of world literature, is the story of a strong, unhappy, and restless woman, who, like a bird, is locked behind the living bars of the cage called family.
