    why i dont agree

    I LIVE IN THE ALENTEJO IN PORTUGAL AND IN THE AREA MONICA IS TALKING ABOUT. I PERSONALY THINK WHAT SHE HAS DONE IS REVOLTING. SHE HAS USED A REAL FAMILY. I ALSO PERSONALY KNOW THESE PEOPLE, AND FIND IT OUT OF ORDER PUTTING THEM DOWN TO THAT EXTENT. I KNOW THAT IN THE BOOK IT SAYS IT COMPLETLY FICIONAL, BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT ITS NOT. THESE PEOPLE IN QUESTION ARE DEVESTATED BY WHAT HAS BEEN WRITEN ABOUT THEM AND THE BOOK HAS PUT A REALLY BAD VIEW ON OUR AREA OF THE ALENTEJO,PORTUGAL. I AM AN ESTATE AGENTE AND MONICAS BOOK REALLY IS NOT HELPING BUISNESS. IM SURE YOU WON`T PUBLISH THIS..........AS IM ONLY SLAGGING BUT I HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTUND HOW TERRIBLE IT IS RUINING SOMEONES LIFE BECAUSE A WRITER CAN`T INVENT A GOOD STORY AND HAS TO MAKE THOUSANDS FROM TELLING TRUE STOREYS WITHOUT PEOPLES CONSENT.

    A Touching, Sincere Read

    I really enjoyed Alentejo Blue. Having never read Brick Lane, I picked this up at the recommendation of a coworker. The characters come to life in poignant and often heartbreaking stories of life in an impoverished village in Portugal.
