The stories in this prizewinning collection evoke a complete world, one so richly imagined and finely realized that the stories themselves are not so much read as experienced. The world of these stories is PortugueseAmerican, redolent of incense and spices, resonant with ritual and prayer, immersed in the California culture of freeway and commerce. Packed with lyrical prose and vivid detail, acclaimed writer Katherine Vaz conjures a captivating blend of Old World heritage and New World culture to explore the links between families, friends, strangers, and their world.From the threat of a serial killer as the background for a young girls first brush with death to the fallout of a modernday visitation from the Virgin Mary; from an AIDSstricken squatter refusing to vacate an empty Lisbon home to a mothers yearlong struggle with the death of her synesthetic daughter, these deft stories make their world ours.
