A menina que flertava com a morte conta como foi salva pela palavra escrita. Em cada página, personagens fantasticamente reais incorporam-se: a irmã morta, que era a mais viva entre todos; a avó, comedida em tudo, menos na imaginação; a família que precisou de uma perna fantasma para andar no novo mundo; as tias que viravam flores para não murchar. Como repórter, escritora e documentarista, Eliane Brum sempre indagou sobre como cada um inventa uma vida, cria sentido para seus dias, com tão pouco. Em meus desacontecimentos, conta como ela mesma se arrancou do silêncio para virar narrativa. Nesse itinerário de dentro para dentro, a autora percorre-se com delicadeza, mas sem pudor. Mais do que se revela. Oferece-se ao leitor nua. Quase em sacrifício.

Muito bom livro, escritora talentosa. Apenas um livro bem melancólico. De qualquer modo, vale a pena a leitura. O livro atendeu às minhas expectativas.
