"Livro de Soror Saudade" by Florbela Espanca is a collection of poetry published in January 1923. This volume of thirty-six sonnets explores vivid feelings of love and passion, marking a shift from the melancholy themes of her earlier work. The book strengthens the motif of the kiss while paradoxically representing an escape from pleasure. Critics praised the collection, and its limited edition of two hundred copies sold quickly, establishing Espanca's growing reputation in Portuguese poetry.
