It is the biography of a woman far ahead of her time
Raquel Ochoa about this book told me once in an interview she granted me, though without revealing much that it is the story of the life of a Portuguese Joan of Arc. It is the absolute of truths. You know the saying, my life is a movie? The existence of Maria Adelaide de Braganza Van Uden is exactly that and more, because reality always surpasses fiction. The Infanta of Portugal lives up to her title for having shown a great nobility of character and courage, fruit of her personal and religious convictions, during one of the bloodiest periods of the twentieth century. I suggest reading this reading for two reasons, first because it is a fascinating story, well written and very rarely ... someone writes the biography of a Portuguese, a woman of our time, very little known of the general public, due to her discretion, yes, but it deserves to be perpetuated through a book that above all is a tribute to her dedication and commitment in helping others. The Portuguese are not avid readers of biographies; However, I leave this suggestion. Happy reading!
