one of my favorites books, it's the one that got me into classics, but I understand that the themes can be really dark and not to everyone, but I really think Jorge amado had so much to talk about these children and I learned so much of this, I think that we should learn to separate the wrong action of the characters (and belive me shit hit the fan with these guys, they fucked up a LOT) and have the time in consideration (it was 1932 guys of course it's gonna be dark) of the quality of this book.
