The novel The Mango and the Tamarind Tree by Leslie de Noronha gives an insight into the feelings of Goans who had a Portuguese identity that changed into a Goan one after the end of the colonial period. On the surface, the novel deals with the affluent but disintegrating Albuquerque family. In reality, Noronha shows the disintegration of Portuguese identity in Goa by having the novel's main character Raoul break with many traditions. He refuses to go through an arranged marriage, falls in love with a woman from a lower class, and he sells the family home after his mother's death. (From Donna Young's description)
