| Summary | "Ambições: Romance" by Ana de Castro Osório is a fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to center around the lives and relationships of individuals in a provincial town, exploring themes of ambition, societal expectations, and personal desires, particularly through the character of Pillar, who seems to face challenges related to her health and relationships. At the start of the novel, the setting is a quaint provincial pharmacy that serves as a social hub for the townspeople. We are introduced to Domingos, the pharmacist, and his family dynamics, as well as the newcomers' impact on the established order. The atmosphere is depicted as both vibrant and stifling, highlighting the contrast between the natural beauty of the surroundings and the social tensions among the characters, particularly concerning ambition and societal status. Dialogues reveal tensions surrounding illness, social status, and evolving relationships, particularly focusing on Pillar, who is undergoing a serious illness, thereby suggesting impending drama that will unfold as these themes are examined throughout the narrative.
