What makes a romance novel a romance? Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre - something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats.

Mulheres abandonadas. Desde sempre, a literatura é permeada de histórias trágicas de figuras fascinantes, como Medeia e Dido, que se desfazem diante do abandono masculino. Emma Bovary e Anna Kariênina, personagens inesquecíveis, também sucumbem.

No século xxi, Elena Ferrante atualiza a tradição, criando personagens que definham ou enlouquecem depois de dispensadas — é o caso de Olga, em Dias de abandono, que se vê confrontada com novas questões: Como pode uma mulher padecer "de amor" nos anos 2000?
