He and Rosario walked the island of Manhattan and described her to the foodmongers and flower girls on the corners. They cried and wore the soles of their shoes to paper on the streets and asked each other why God would do this sort of thing to them, to Eleanora, to people who had done nothing to deserve misfortune.
This is from John Addiego’s The Islands of Divine Music. In my interview with Joyce Hinnefeld (author of In Hovering Flight), Joyce tells us that this is one of the books she has recently read.
