Description: "Novel won first prize in the Concurso Literário Civilização Brasileira for 1994. Explores the convergence of religions in Brazil, specifically among Catholics, Protestants, and followers of candomblé, an African religion practiced in Brazil. A mystical atmosphere seems to float through the narrative, which is otherwise a realistic portrayal of an apparently sleepy little town"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
