I would have loved to hear about her husband's part of the ordeal because I believe he too must have gone through a lot for it to have changed him that much and disrupted their marriage.

The heart-wrenching story of the author is what I am looking forward to knowing. As she was invited to narrate her experience for the Brazilian National Truth Commission, it was intriguing to know how she survived in jail and how she manage to escape from the mishap. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

I have read 'The Parrot's Perch' by Karen Keilt, a woman I will describe as brave, courageous and loving. Despite all she experienced, she still found love. I liked Jack Keilt, her second husband, and all he represented to her. I choose not to write about her harrowing experience here. This is a good review.

Who tipped the police off? It looks like the drugs were planted by someone to set them up. Well, I wouldn't know. Excellent review; I will definitely read this book.

I concur with the assessment that this is a skillfully crafted autobiography warranting the utmost acclaim. However, the explicit portrayals of both verbal and physical maltreatment mentioned by the evaluator and myself within the text could potentially provoke a negative reaction from certain individuals. Upon perusing it myself, I also experienced a sense of discouragement due to the instances depicting Karen's father's furious acts of aggression.
