Through a series of letters written home, Catherine McClintock describes in wonderful detail the sights, sounds, flavours and tropical beauty of Brazil as she experienced it along with her husband and daughter as expats from Ireland. Brazil through Irish Eyes is a travelogue and a memoir of daily life, and will make a great companion read to anyone planning to explore the natural wonders of Brazil, whether in person or through the descriptions and many photos in the book. Told from the perspective of someone seeing everything with new eyes while living in country, the book captures the essence of exploration coupled with a love for nature in its ruggedness and glory, some of which is uniquely Brazilian.
