The Secret's in the Folding - Softcover

Reseña del editor

Welcome to the vibrant world of Brazil. The characters in these stories all show spirit, whether they are newly freed workers, a mid-life beauty on a beach or dancers in Carnaval. Discover the importance of cakes and why some slaves have stripes on their backs; wait under the mango tree with the girl from the favela and take a step into the unknown with the sacked cane worker who rediscovers his Dad's puppets. Fiona Thackeray's stories travel over time and space, from a folklore bandit to a hospital janitor, from the cities to the dry lands and the Amazon. Each story is a gem in itself, but together they build up a colourful mosaic of Brazil and its characters.
