A Novel of Enchantment |
|
|
|
 The
pain of unrequited love is one of life’s great tragedies, but even more
heart-breaking is a love that is taboo: a love that crosses the divide between
species.
When
a lonely olive-grower searches for romance, he cannot know the chaos he will
cause. Instead of the voluptuous woman of his dreams, the mule Gezabel falls
head over hooves in love with him.
And, as Gezabel narrates, she is not the only
one to get her stars crossed when ardour casts its spell over the region. As the
villagers throw their love away on those who do not return it, remarkable
phenomena add to the fevered atmosphere, and passions surge with the soaring
temperatures of summer.
