Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From one of the world's top three bestselling writers, alongside John Grisham and Paolo Coelho. An ecological romance, and an Amazonian adventure story in one. "A magical storyteller" "Daily Mail". "Allende's writing is so vivid we hear the sounds, see the bright birds, smell and even taste the soft fruit" "The Times". A strong environmental theme - which should have appeal for a broad range of readers.

Synopsis:

Alexander Cold and his grandmother - a fearless reporter - are going to the Amazon rainforest to search for a fabled headhunting tribe and a legendary, marauding "Beast". Here they find out much, much more about the mysteries of the jungle and its inhabitants.
