About The

Book

This story is set in the yesteryear when families used to gather together to tune in to the radio during the day and indulge in soap operas in the evening.

In her radio show ‘Words into Tangible Worlds,’ Mrs. Mae unfolds the tale of Fabiana, a young heiress who reluctantly moves from Rio de Janeiro to the Pantanal in central Brazil. Upon encountering the piercing gaze of a jaguar in the jungle, Fabiana sees that same intensity in two individuals: Paolo and Glorieta. As mysteries unfold and alliances shift, two questions linger: Where will Fabiana’s journey lead and what concealed truths await discovery?

This is the kind of book that you think about when you have to put it away. When you're working and doing chores you can't wait for it to be over in order to keep reading. Even five hundred pages wouldn't be enough.

This engaging novel had me turning pages well past my bedtime! Author Ellie Vivino paints a vivid picture of 1980's Brazil with her eloquent prose and colorful characters. The interwoven storylines of Fabiana, Johnny, Paolo and their families are well crafted and make for an absorbing read. Beyond the engaging plot, I appreciated the author's sensitive portrayal of nature and its conservation. It resonated with me and added a thoughtful layer to the story.
