I agree with the prior reviewer regarding the high rating for this special book, but I am compelled to point out (as I am from the Azores myself) that Portuguese people are not Hispanic.
Emotionally wrenching but very highly recommended
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Flawlessly translated from the original Portuguese by Gregory Rabassa, My World Is Not Of This Kingdom is a major literary work by Joao de Melo that revolves around the history of a village in the Azores in which nigh-mythical figures live such as Sara the Saint, Cadete the Healer, Barbaro the Pilgrim, and others. Shock, emotion, the press of ruling authority, and harsh choices that divide make for an emotionally wrenching but very highly recommended narrative which will serve to introduce English readers to a significant Hispanic literary talent.
