He had left London on a cold, gloomy day and although he was flying to SAo Paulo, his plane landed in Rio de Janeiro, at Brazil's only international airport. He was wearing a tweed coat and carrying his tennis racket. From the minute he stepped into the heat of the runway and saw the Outeiro da GlOria church, he had a gut feeling he was going to like Brazil and he did. Contracted to teach English Literature at St Paul's School in SAo Paulo, he was realizing his dream of flying south of the Equator to discover South America and visit the Amazon rainforest. In this touching memoir, Noemia Mariutti Maxwell combines her husband's letters with personal reflections, recalling her childhood in SAo Paulo and early teaching career at St Paul's, to tell the story of how she met her husband-to-be and their happy marriage.
