When the man discovers that Maria has dated a man she had met at the club, she is fired. Immediately upon her arrival, Maria learns the truth about the arrangement and will receive much less money that she had hoped, forcing her into a lifestyle much more restricted than the one she had imagined. Maria goes to Rio de Janeiro, where she is approached by a Swiss entertainment businessman and is coaxed to fly back to Switzerland with the man and work in his nightclub as a samba dancer. ![]() Maria is different from other girls in her town in that she craves adventure, but it is not until she has graduated and has worked two years in a draper's shop that Maria can save enough money for a small vacation.

She's imaginative, playful, proactively willful, and strong, but she's also thoughtful and kind. But that's a little the point- Dyamonde is a little girl who sees and understands with empathy and wisdom uncommonly attributed to children. The tone and problem-solving of the protagonist Dyamonde (pronounced "Diamond") genuinely sounds like a young child's, albeit a bit more reformed than the typical elem. Grimes has a knack for writing in the voice of a child without sounding like an adult trying to do so.
