One of the people interested is Noemi: Guri's mother, married to a man she no longer loves, she is searching for something that will make her feel alive. At party meetings, Noemi and Roberto develop a strong intellectual connection, which leads to an affair. She finds herself testing new moral and ethical boundaries, both in the realm of love and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAn expression of a libertarian socialism that would rarely reappear in Rachel de Queiroz's writing, \u003cem\u003eCaminho de Pedras\u003c\/em\u003e is considered her most committed novel. This book offers the first glimpses of a more introspective style and psychological analyses that underpin scenes of intense emotional intensity.
