She was Portuguese, living with her parents in the Brazilian diamond-mining town of Diamantina, and she began to keep her record of everyday happenings in 1893, when she was twelve. In 1942, as Senhora Augusto Mario Caldeira Brant of Rio de Janeiro (her husband twice served as president of the Bank of Brazil), she published her diary in a small edition for friends and family. Famed French Novelist Georges Bernanos saw it and proclaimed it a work of genius. By the time-1952-that U.S. Pulitzer-Prizewinning Poet Elizabeth Bishop went...
