'In Brazil, you can commune with spirits and party with gods. In Brazil, you can learn a lot about life, and life’s possibilities.

'We might think we know about Brazil. We’ve watched the World Cup, we’ve heard about the danger and the corruption, we’ve seen the samba and the rainforest. But Brazil holds secrets.

'Seven years of travel in Brazil saw Fran Bryson’s fascination with the country develop into something of an obsession. During many journeys from her island home in Australia, she explored the country: from the glittering modern city of Brasília to small, deeply religious towns; from the inner reaches of the Amazon jungle to the vibrant backlands — home to heroes, troubadours, and the possessed.

'In Brazil is Fran’s account of her experiences travelling through one of the world’s most colourful and contradictory nations and, in doing so, making sense of the world around her' (Publication summary)
