![]() ![]() I read the first half of the 500 pages in two days. Now, with that out of the way I could get lost in the story. Finally, I had to research all the various instruments that get a mention cuíca, reco-reco, cavaquinho, agogô, pandeiro. Few more pages in and I got stuck again, this time with the Portuguese words - how do you pronounce them and what do they mean? Here, I’d like to thank Google Translate for help. I got stuck right on the first page as I needed to google to see whether Sofia Salvador was a real person (The Water Dancer is to blame for that…). ![]() When I started reading I knew nothing about the book, it was suggested by D and all I did was order it and then opened it to start reading. ![]() The previous books took us to Africa, Europe and North America and this one landed us in the South America of the early 20 th century. I have now finished this book, which is the fourth book of our book club. ![]()
