| Mariana by Katherine Vaz | | isbn: 9780970765291 |  | Mariana is based upon the true story of Mariana Alcoforado, a nun who has an all consuming-love affair with a French
mercenary during Portugal's struggle for independence in the 17th century. Her passionate letters to him after being
abandoned were famous throughout Europe during her lifetime, and thereafter. Artists from the poet Rilke to the painters
Matisse, Modigliani, and Braque have all helped make her into one of the world's great romantic icons.
KATHERINE VAZ is also the author of the novel Saudade and the collection of short stories Fado & Other Stories,
winner of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize. She is currently a Briggs-Copeland Lecturer in Creative Writing at Harvard University.
