Customer Reviews

A real original

This book is written in a unique style, with a backdrop of clashing cultures and religions in a thought provoking, intriguing manner. When I hit the last part of the book, I couldn't quit until I finished it. The characters are vividly and sympathetically drawn. It was quite a jungle ride. And, now I want to see a blue Morpho butterfly.

A piece of highly recommended writing for those looking for a literary-quality story

Traveling the world can provide much great inspiration. "Tsantsa" is the story of Moises and his inner conflict dealing with his culture's traditions and a western priest who wants him to follow Christianity - and end his people's practice of shrinking heads. A novel of culture clash with engaging characters, "Tsantsa" is a piece of highly recommended writing for those looking for a literary-quality story.

Fascinating Tale of Culture Clash

This is a fascinating tale of the clash of cultures in the wilds of Ecuador. The descriptions of the jungle are vivid - you are immersed into its sights and sounds. The rigidness of the priest and the 'old one' are the real heart of the story. You will be thinking about it long after you put the book down.
