"O Conde de S. Luiz" by Thomaz José de Mello is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around D. Marianna de Mendonça, a widow navigating the complexities of life after the death of her husband, Alvaro de Mendonça, while caring for their promising son, Manuel. The narrative introduces various characters who impact her life, hinting at themes of love, ambition, and societal interactions amidst the backdrop of changing fortunes. The beginning of the novel sets a poignant tone as it recounts D. Marianna’s content life before tragedy strikes, with the death of her husband just after their marriage and the subsequent challenges she faces. With support from her son and her late husband’s cousin, the administration of her finances falls to the commendador Felix Justino de Araujo, who begins to influence her decisions amidst a growing trust. As the plot unfolds, glimpses of foreboding emerge through her interactions with this commendador and the ominous hints about her son's future, leading to a tension-filled narrative about familial ties and the potential for betrayal.
