The writing reminds me of Joanne Harris' magical stories. ( ) Unabridged audio read by Laurence Bouvard. Spoken narrator notes: Middle-aged female who can do a wide range of voices. Brisk strong (with the benefit of reverb), clipped delivery. United States dialect, New York?, news="nooz". Confident pronunciation of Italian names and words. Expressive. Dry uproariously funny story of unrequited love. The writing is tasteful despite the subject (a mule falls for a man). Don't be alarmed! The subject is just one thread amongst many stories of desire and frustration (between humans!). Love between species isn't the only transgression contemplated by the desperate characters. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When a lonely olive grower, Arcadio Carnabuci, sows his love seeds, he cannot imagine the chaos his magic fruit will bring. While Fernanda Ponderosa, the voluptuous woman of his dreams, evades his spell, Gezabel, a hardworking middle-aged mule, falls head over hooves in love with him. And, as Gezabel discovers, she is not the only one whose stars cross as the olive grower's ardor casts its magic over the region. Suddenly, the butcher and the baker are thinking murder, the village doctor and his nurse are driven to distraction, and a newborn is transformed into an angel. As the villagers alternate between love and war, remarkable phenomena add to the fevered atmosphere, making passions surge higher than the soaring temperatures of summer. A wildly imaginative fairy tale for adults, Ardor celebrates the lovely landscape of Italy and the eccentricity of its inhabitants in a narrative full of twists and unexpected delights. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
