- Synopsis
- Brimming with magic realism, this novel celebrates sensuality - the melding of sexual love and the pleasures of the kitchen. Rosa Fiore, a consummate cook, leaves her village after her lover is murdered. After twenty-five years as a librarian in Sicily she meets a new lover, a mysterious Englishman who shares her passion for cooking. Minor characters include Rosa's sexually voracious mother, her brothers Guerra and Pace who are conjoined twins, her snoopy 111-year-old neighbor Nonna Frolla, and a lascivious priest.
