something that seemed fishy? Dora Alonso‚ the author of “Sophie and the Angel‚” developed a story about an old lady who because of her loneliness and religion goes through a test of faith. Sophie was an old lady‚ she was lonely‚ and she was sexually repressed. This leads her to start to have hallucinations about an angel.
