By the author of La Cucina, a new novel set in Italy about a servant girl whose bewitching aroma drives men who inhale it into an erotic frenzy.

Ramona Drottoveo, an albino with unusual looks, is a chambermaid at a lush Italian country estate. Distinguished by an intoxicating scent, Ramona is despised by all women and worshipped by all men, whose inexhaustible lust she eagerly satisfies.

But Ramona's life changes forever when she marries a sweet beekeeper who dies after discovering his bride with a new lover on their wedding day. The superstitious villagers blame Ramona when his body mysteriously disappears and exile the couple from the estate. The story follows Ramona's tragicomic misadventures in the neighbouring city of Naples, where her life is transformed once again by the birth of an unwanted daughter, Blandina.

A hilarious and naughty celebration of the senses and the strange places they can lead us, Nectar explores, with a touch of magical realism, the mystery of sexual attraction, the instinct to survive and the frivolous nature of divine justice.

Starting a bookring.

This book appears to have taken an extended vacation (over 1 year now) with another BookCrosser. We welcome this book to the Lost Book Island until a time that it gets the journal entry that tells of its travels once more.

Update: 17 Oct 2005 - Sterile has kindly offered this book as a replacement for the ring.

It is hoped that this original book will still be journaled again one day with lots of information about its particular travels and where it might go from here.

I am offering a copy of the book which was listed at Lostbookisland, to continue the ring.
At the moment the state of the ring is:
3. Zarylia - Asked to be skipped
4. Gooby - Notice on Bookshelf asking to be skipped
5. TramGirl - Waiting for response

Will update when reply comes in.

There is another book and BCID to be used (Of course!) for this book ring. Here is the link to the new book.
