dry season q&a
DRY SEASON is set in the Mato Grosso region of Brazil and the novel contains a small number of Portuguese words as well as references to things specific to Brazil and its culture. While these tend to be clear from context, a number of readers suggested that it might be useful to have an explanation of some of the terms used in DRY SEASON.

On this page, you will find explanations for the terms used in the book and, in some cases, there will be additional information and resources.
