The Yellow Purse became a masterpiece in the child adolescent literature. Who reads it will never forget Rachel''s story,
that sensitive girl like you, who hides in her yellow purse three great wills: the will of growing up, the will of being a boy and to become a writer. This book was released more than twenty years ago, and until today eveybody vibrates with Rachel. There are so many people who are fan of the Yellow Purse that, in the school''s library, the book gets shabby and damaged for the many readers who take it to read. A masterpiece is that book which never gets out of fashion, and it becomes little by little to the writer''s masterpiece. This is what happened with The Yellow Purse, one of the most prized books of Lygia Bonjunga.
