The scenes and events it described were odd, remote, and long ago, and yet fresh, sad, funny, and eternally true. The longer I stayed on in Brazil the more Brazilian the book seemed, yet much of it could have happened in any small provincial town or village, and at almost any period of history-at least before the arrival of the automobile and the moving-picture theatre."-Elizabeth Bishop 606 $aMorley, Helena 606 $aManners and customs 615 0$aMorley, Helena. 615 0$aManners and customs. 676 $a920.7 700 $aMorley$b Helena$01374433 701 $aBishop$b Elizabeth$0470407 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157567003321 996 $aThe Diary of "Helena Morley"$93407599 997 $aUNINA
