There are four-wheel-drive cars and pickup trucks here in Lastoursville, a small town on the train line about two degrees south of the equator.

Role: setting
In the book: Bonnie Black, a community health Volunteer, writes ‘The Fridge Factor’ from her post in Lastoursville. She walks about a mile to the market every day, buying fresh food, chatting and mock-tangoing with the vegetable sellers.
Why it matters: The whole essay is about daily life without a refrigerator in this equatorial town; its market is the heart of it.
