Очень интересная история...

David Good's parents come from different countries - hardly unusual in the US where he was raised. But the 25-year-old's family is far from ordinary - while his father is American, his mother is a tribeswoman living in a remote part of the Amazon. Two decades after she left, David realised he had to find her.

Read this yesterday. Quite a story!

Now I want to read the father's memoir.

I also read this yesterday, via FB. It was super interesting because I read the father's memoir and it was really fascinating. Still have the book. :)

Yes, I want to read the memoir now, especially since you are giving it a good review.

if you can't find a copy, i can send you mine. :)

the memoir covers the whole time the father spent with the Yanomamo (I think that's what they're called? too lazy to check). for some reason I love reading books like that, when they tell you about how another culture (especially one so different from us) lives. i read it in the early 2000s, so I can't remember all the details, but I really loved it. and it seemed to me the author tried hard to really understand the Yanomamo and didn't really judge them.

Thanks! I'll let you know if I need a copy. I'm just getting back into reading a little here and there after having a baby. :)

Очень интересная история! Мне почему-то стало их всех жалко, и маму с отцом и детей.

Да, как-то несуразно получилось. Я представляю, что ей после амазонского племени в NJ было очень не весело. И дети потом росли без матери..,
