LOOKING FOR A GRIPPING STORY THAT SPANS GENERATIONS AND TAKES YOU FROM BRAZIL, TO ENGLAND AND INDIA? LOOK NO FURTHER...
An inspiring tapestry of strength and legacy
​
Reading this book felt like embarking on a journey across continents, right alongside Iracy and her family. Their story, rooted in Brazil but stretching to England and India, is a testament to resilience in the face of adversity.
The book’s portrayal of the harsh realities faced by indigenous and African slaves in colonized Brazil, and the emergence of the first mixed-race families, is both eye-opening and heart-wrenching. It's a stark reminder of the complexities of our histories and the impact they have on our present.
It’s a personal story of a family, yet it speaks to universal themes of love, loss, and the indomitable female spirit. The narrative is beautifully crafted, with a flow that keeps you engaged from start to finish.
It's a reminder of the challenges we face, the strength we inherit, and the triumphs we can achieve.

Absolutely loved this, what a story! The book takes you on a journey with Iracy through love, resilience, poverty, imperialism and triumph. Follow Iracy through the rural landscapes of Brazil, the busy city of Sao Paolo and beyond. Iracy and family are exposed to the realities of the indigenous and African slaves. The story is told through the eyes of Iracy's daughter, what she experiences, feels and how she fights for what is hers! Great story and well told
