Born
from the fertile volcanic soil and the sea and mists surrounding the
Azorean islands, the characters who inhabit these stories blend realism
with magic. Like the nine Muses, each island has its own special
attributes. Whether searching for love, power, or meaning, these
characters are subject to the whims of Fate and Fortune. Here the
commonplace present confronts forces both natural and supernatural. In
the Azorean microcosm, they come to represent a far larger sphere,
embodying the foibles and idiosyncrasies of humanity the world over.
