I recently came across your review of "The Parrot's Perch" by Karen Keilt, and I couldn't agree more with your sentiments about this extraordinary book. As an avid reader, I was captivated by the story, and I believe Jenifer Pauline J would undoubtedly share the same enthusiasm.

"The Parrot's Perch" takes readers on an unforgettable journey, as Karen Keilt fearlessly opens up about her harrowing experiences of imprisonment and torture in Brazil during the military dictatorship. Her resilience and determination to survive against unimaginable odds are truly inspiring

What struck me most was Keilt's ability to transform her painful memories into a beautifully crafted narrative. Her vivid descriptions transported me to the Brazilian landscapes, allowing me to feel the tension, despair, and hope that permeated her every word. Keilt's prose is so powerful that it tugs at your heartstrings, evoking a range of emotions from anger and fear to compassion and ultimately, awe

"The Parrot's Perch" delves deep into themes of justice, human rights, and the indomitable spirit of the human soul. Keilt's unwavering commitment to seeking justice for herself and countless others is a testament to her courage and determination. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of speaking out against injustice, no matter how daunting the circumstances may be.

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!

The reviewer gives the book an excellent five-star rating, praising its captivating nature and the absence of noticeable faults as signs of expert editing. Although they warn that the book contains some violent descriptions and strong language that may not be appropriate for all readers, they suggest it to non-fiction and memoir fans.

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.
