For all those readers who are interested in traveling and discovering new places, French Guiana: The Bizarre and the Beautiful by Donna Mulvenna will enrich their souls with its wonders, dangers, desires, and risks. Located between Brazil and Suriname, within close proximity to Colombia, French Guiana is not a place that many would consider visiting. The place turns out to be far more bizarre than what the author imagined it to be, with its poverty, crime, and less than ideal sanitary conditions. The author exposes another side of the place that makes it stand out as one of the richest areas of biodiversity on Earth, and shows readers the cultures, forests, rivers, and wildlife which are still hidden from the world.
The author’s stay in French Guiana is filled with facts; her narration is witty and readers get to know more about the place which has an air of freedom and adventure. Her narration is detailed and she takes readers right there, telling them many things that are unknown about the place. The author also takes readers to Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana, and gives them a cultural, visual, social, and environmental trip which reveals the quirkiness and uniqueness of the location. The book captures the simple and sustainable lifestyle of yesteryear that blends with modern day technology. The book also makes readers aware of the powerful energy and goodness of the Amazon, and will make them appreciate the place for its biodiversity, awe, and wonder.
