Susana, Thank you so much for sharing. I did a check on Barnacle Love and see that it originates in Lomba da Maia (where my husband was born). I am so excited I have to get the book. Barnes & Noble is carrying it in the U.S. I just happen to have finished reading "Emigrantes" by Ferreira do Castro. It is about a man leaving his village in mainland Portugal and emigrating to Brazil to make some money, but it doesn't work out as he expects. It was a great story. Maria Sousa

I ordered it on line from INDIGO (Canadian bookstore). What a moving story about an Azorean family and growing up in Canada. Speaking of traditions.... In the book the traditional "making of the bed" before the wedding night is mentioned. Is this traditonal for all Azorean brides to be? Something to think about and share...
