Book ID/图书代码: 06840019C00044
English Summary/英文概要: 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.

“Prior once again explores the power of the senses in a lush and bawdy tale of sex, desire, and the certainty of retribution.” --Booklist
“Think of her as Moll Flanders or Tom Jones, or perhaps the anti- Candide.” --The Washington Post
“The author’s voice is utterly distinctive, original, and sincere and at times very funny.” --Joanne Harris, award-winning author Chocolat
“Prior is a great joke teller. She understands pacing, characters, and the power of a perfectly delivered punchline.” --Entertainment Weekly, on
Nectar
“To visualize Prior’s rambunctious novel, imagine a grand, erotic opera buffet, bursting with outsized passion and populated by 99 fancifully named and generally grotesque characters... Prior propels this larky but dark tale with sensuous descriptions of opulent banquets, hurly-burly street scenes, horrendous natural disasters and providential encounters.” --Publishers
Weekly, on Nectar
