"Livro de Soror Saudade" by Florbela Espanca is a collection of poetry published in January 1923. This volume of thirty-six sonnets explores vivid feelings of love and passion, marking a shift from the melancholy themes of her earlier work.

Critics praised the collection, and its limited edition of two hundred copies sold quickly, establishing Espanca's growing reputation in Portuguese poetry.
