The book offers a personal account of the author's experiences as an educator in Brazil, focusing on her observations and the challenges she faces in this unfamiliar environment. The story centers around Ulla, the main character, as she navigates her role within a family that owns a coffee plantation, reflecting
on cultural differences and her interactions with both the Brazilian family members and the enslaved individuals in their household. The opening of the narrative introduces Ulla as she writes letters to her friend Grete, sharing her initial impressions of Brazil and her new life on the coffee plantation. She humorously expresses her disappointments and expectations about the idyllic life she imagined versus the realities of her experiences—ranging from the mundane to the chaotic. Ulla amusingly depicts her interactions with the plantation's inhabitants, including the complexities of the enslaved workers, the challenging circumstances of her teaching duties, and her struggles to adapt to tropical life. Overall, the beginning sets a descriptive and engaging tone, highlighting both the precarious social dynamics and Ulla's relatable frustrations amidst her journey of adaptation.
