5.0 out of 5 stars Tereza-words like no other Batista, February 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Tereza Batista: Home from the Wars (Paperback)

After having an intense conversation about Jorge Amado on a flight to SF, my husband received this book in the mail as a gift from his flight companion. I picked it up recently and became enthralled with the story and the plot. Amado has the ability to tell a story like no other and make you fall in love with the characters. He words will feast your eyes and dance the most elegant dance with your mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a treat to read., November 3, 1998

Tereza Batista : Home from the Wars is a great read. The characters can be silly, heroic, or evil beyond words, but they're never boring and the story is engrossing.

Amado at his best. The episodes are spellbinding and the reader falls in love with the characters.
