Abstract
Without disregarding the roots of Rachel de Queiroz's O Quinze (The Year '15), in the tradition of Northeastern drought literature, the author brings it closer to more radical experiences - Vidas Secas (Barren Lives), by Graciliano Ramos, and Grande Sertão:veredas (The Devil to Pay in the Backlands), by Guimarães Rosa - highlighting its literary qualities and its innovative aspect, related , among other factors, to the conversation of the female character into the subject of the narrative. This change in fictional perspective involves a deep historical change and is related to the new Brazilian horizon, on the eve of the 1930's.
