Telma’s Quotes

“Through one story, I learn the native black population in Angola does not have as many rights or the same social standing as white people. My father, being white, therefore had more clout over my mother, and so it was more normal for my white father to raise me rather than my native black mother.”
― Telma Rocha, The Angolan Girl: A True-Life Novel

“He is my first love, and the loss of a first love is always the hardest. My clothes now drape like a curtain from not eating, and I am forgetting basic things that I should remember. I contemplate my future as I am not getting any younger, and I must come to a decision soon. I have no other prospect for marriage, and at fifteen, I am at a marriageable age.”
