Reading "Helena" right now. Nice little book. Written/ published in 1876 - De Assis is Brazilian. Story of a son of a well to do family meeting his illegitimate half-sister upon his father's death. He and his aunt take her in and treat her as family- the only problem is that she and her half brother fall in love with each other. Easy read.
