Description
Looking for a gripping story that spans generations and takes you from Brazil to England and India? Look no further…
This compelling tale follows the story of Iracy, a woman with an unbreakable spirit who defies the conventions of her time and fights against the injustices of imperialism, poverty, and patriarchy.
From the harsh conditions of rural Brazil to the concrete jungle of Sao Paulo, Iracy's journey is filled with love, loss, and triumphs. Along the way, she and her sisters Maria and Ana Maria Luisa are confronted with the harsh realities of the lives of indigenous and African slaves in colonized Brazil and the formation of the first mixed-race families.
Told from the perspective of Iracy's daughter, the keeper of stories, "Mother of Honey" is a moving tribute to the resilience of the female spirit. The story explores the impacts of ancestry on our lives and those of our loved ones, and how we can find the strength to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
If you're looking for a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this book is a must-read. It's a powerful testament to the human spirit and a celebration of the triumphs that can come from the darkest of places.
