Christina, a young Portuguese woman reared
in the civility and elegance of seventeenth-
century Europe, travels to newborn and
untamed Brazil, betrothed to a cousin she
has never met. From the time Christina sets
foot on that strange New World soil, an aura
of doom envelopes her. The awesomeness
of the natural beauty, the mysterious fur-
tiveness of the native Indians, the cruelty of
slavery, and the animal-like avarice of her
fellow whites, the conquerors and colonists,
all unite to overwhelm her sense of self-
respect and well being.
