A glorious debut that T.C. Boyle phone calls "powerful and deeply moving" that follows two young Mormon missionaries in Brazil and their tense, peculiar companionship. Elder McLeod - outspoken, surly, a brash American - is nearing the finish of his mission in Brazil. For almost 2 yrs he has put in his days studying the Bible and the Book of Mormon, knocking on entry doors, teaching missionary lessons - "experimenting on the term". His new spouse is Elder Passos, a devout, ambitious Brazilian who found salvation and solace in the chapel after his mother's early death. Both men are at first suspicious of each other, and their work together is irritating, fruitless. That changes when a beautiful girl and her partner offer the missionaries an opportunity to be heard, to place all of their practice to good use, to test the mettle of the faith. But before they can bring the few to baptism, they must confront their own long-held values and questions, and the simmering tensions in the centre of their companionship.
