The work features the correspondence of a Portuguese nun, Marianna Alcaforado, as she expresses her intense love and heartache for Noël Bouton de Chamilly, a French officer stationed in Portugal. The letters unfold the depths of her emotional turmoil, capturing her fervent feelings of love, betrayal, and despair. The opening of "Lettres portugaises" establishes the context of Alcaforado's intense emotional struggle as she writes to Chamilly, who has seemingly abandoned her after their intimate connection. The letters reveal her deep sense of longing and anguish over his absence, as well as her tumultuous feelings of jealousy and betrayal. As she reflects on the pain caused by his departure and the hope for reconciliation, the reader is drawn into her heartfelt confessions of love and heartache, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the complexities of passion.
