“Fascinating and enthralling journey of a young woman transitioning through her childhood into adulthood while navigating family, social, societal, and political changes in her beloved home of Brazil. Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down!”

And a review of the Portuguese translation:

“A autora nos leva pra uma caminhada deliciosa do sertão nordestino, a nova capital do Brasil, ao Rio de Janeiro dos anos 60, e além-mar. Os personagens fictícios são cativantes e a história real do Brasil faz essa trama ainda mais significativa e envolvente.”

In English: “The author takes us on a delightful journey from the northeastern hinterland, the new capital of Brazil, to Rio de Janeiro in the 60s, and beyond the sea. The fictional characters are captivating and the real history of Brazil makes this plot even more meaningful and engaging.”
