Synopsis
'A Sweet Oblation, ' set in Cape Verde Islands, West Africa, testifies to the power of suffering to transform hearts, to understand the sacredness of human relationships, and to provide clues to the mystery of who we are and how we are related to one another, Oblation ? ?an offering to God'. The word will never be thought of in the same way again after reading, Irma Silva-Barbeau's fictional story: A Sweet Oblation. The heart and soul of this intriguing, thought-provoking book is Isabel, a girl who embarks on a spiritual journey on Ash Wednesday. In her journey, Isabel encounters a young mysterious girl who guides her through a dark tunnel to a strange land where she meets many characters who reveal to her the meaning of suffering, give her insights into God's plan, and knowledge about the purpose for her own life. There is the enigmatic Mina, the homeless Baba, the crippled Mr. Little Hands, the beggar Mr. Tallman and the ill Miss Mary each providing new opportunities for Isabel to act on the heavenly truths that she has learned. This adventure of faith occurs during the forty days of Lent, drawing parallels that will impact Isabel's life forever. Set in an island town off the coast of West Africa steeped in Catholicism of the 1950s, A Sweet Oblation takes an honest, poignant look at tradition, rituals, religious strife, and bigotry. Page after page, the reader will be compelled to agree?Love can transform the most difficult events and the hardest of hearts. God desires every human being to be a sweet oblation, offered freely from the heart.
