La Cucina - a novel of rapture |
From childhood Sicilian Rose Fiore has been passionate about food but now middle-aged and overweight, exiled from her village, working as a librarian and nursing a broken heart, she meets an enigmatic Englishman who is researching the history of the island's cuisine and who awakens all her latent sensuality. It's funny and raunchy, sometimes frightening, sometimes sad but mostly it's a celebration of the earthy pleasures of cooking and eating, living and loving!
