“No one cares about the Catholics, baba, because it’s our fault only. Nothing big we want to do, only work in Gulf, collect money, buy house and drink. We don’t help one another also, no one lifts one finger to help his brother, sister also, how we will become better, you tell me?”

“In Obrigado, children grew up and left, adults stayed back and withered. Angelina continued to sing and shout, praising the Lord, pretending to speak in tongues. She did it effortlessly because it helped her forget a number of things—that her marriage was a sham, that she had been unable to hold on to her husband or bear him children, that her mother and brother had written her out of their lives, and that the only thing she could look forward to was Gilbert’s death, which would end this farce and let her go to her own grave with honesty.”
