Uma mulher entre dois países e entre duas idades: assim é Ana, moderna nas liberdades do corpo e anacrónica no que lhe alimenta o espírito. Lavores de Ana, história de uma travessia, é também um divertimento: seduz o leitor com cenas entre amantes, passeios de motoreta no Verão meridional e vistas bucólicas para o Vesúvio; serve-se da mística da viagem, do louvor da feminilidade, da simplificação da liberdade; joga ardilosamente com a sobreposição dos nomes próprios de autora e narradora. E, contudo, sabemos que autora e narradora não coincidem, que o delírio amoroso esbarra em famílias conservadoras ou na falta de dinheiro, que as festas pagãs não bastam para calar sermões de padres ou comentários de vizinhas. E sabemos que a liberdade, para as mulheres, tem o tempo contado. Não sabemos, no entanto, quem é Ana." --
"Naples and Lisbon. The end of youth and the beginning of adulthood. A woman between two countries and between two ages: this is Ana, modern in freedoms... Ana's Works, the story of a journey, is also a delight: it seduces the reader with scenes between lovers, motorcycle rides in the southern summer, and bucolic views of Vesuvius; it draws on the mystique of travel, the praise of femininity, the simplification of freedom; it cunningly plays with the overlapping of the first names of author and narrator. And yet, we know that author and narrator don't coincide, that the love frenzy clashes with conservative families or a lack of money, that pagan festivals aren't enough to silence priests' sermons or neighbors' comments. And we know that freedom, for women, has a limited time frame. We don't know, however, who Ana is."
