In the book The Red Parrot, which describes Native American culture, Kanau is a Native American and his mother gave birth to him as a result of her intercourse with a white man.
Kanau has not been able to find a place for himself among people, and in his opinion, the only way out of this miserable situation is to become very rich.
On the other hand, a lieutenant impregnates a prostitute he was with and is forced to take care of her, but while doing so, he steals a diamond from an investigation.
He must go through difficult paths with this stolen diamond, and Kanau appears to help him complete this journey.
This is how the story begins...
I liked the book at first, it went well, but then it started to get confusing. The narration was fluent, the pages flowed through my hands, but the transitions between events seemed a bit confusing to me and I had difficulty understanding it. That's why the middle of the book bored me a little. But the last pages were really exciting and beautiful.
What happened during the journey was truly impressive. There were not only the lieutenant and Kanau but also other people on this journey. As you guessed, everyone on the journey was focused on one thing: Diamonds.
Vasconcelos finished the book with a touching, impressive and painful ending, telling how money blinds people and how even things that would never be done out of greed are done without even blinking an eye.
Yes, it was a good book, but I think you need to be patient and read it until the end. I think you will love the book if you show patience and get through the complicated and boring parts. It's not a book that I would say "definitely read it, it was great", but it's not a book that I would say "I didn't like it" either... the decision is yours.
