"One hardly knows what to admire most: the dexterity with which Amado can keep half a dozen plots spinning' the gossamer texture of the writing; or his humor, tenderness, and humanity....[W]ise, witty, and profoundly Brazilian." -- Harriet De Onis
-- Saturday Review
"An exciting and enjoyable romp of a book, rich in literary delights..." -- Juan De Onis
-- New York Times Book Review
