Frei Luiz de Sousa by Almeida Garrett

"Frei Luiz de Sousa" by Almeida Garrett is a drama written in 1843. Set in seventeenth-century Portugal, it tells the story of Manuel de Sousa Coutinho and his wife Madalena, whose marriage faces devastating consequences when Madalena's first husband—long believed dead in battle—unexpectedly returns. Their daughter Maria, an innocent young woman suffering from tuberculosis, becomes caught in the tragic unraveling of her parents' lives as social conventions and religious doctrine collide with human love and devotion.
