Reseña del editor
Romona Drottoveo, an albino with unusual looks, is a chambermaid at a lush Italian country estate. Distinguished by an intoxicating scent she exudes, Ramona is despised by women and worshipped by men whose inexhaustible lust for Ramona she satisfies, eagerly and repeatedly. Ramona's life changes when she marries a sweet beekeeper who dies after discovering his bride with a new lover on their wedding day. The superstitious villagers go on to blame Ramona and her lover when the beekeeper's body disappears and the crops fail, and they exile the couple from the estate to the neighboring city of Naples. There, we follow Ramona through her tragicomic misadventures where her life is transformed once again by the birth of her unwanted daughter, Blandina, who 'steals' Ramona's scent, depriving her mother of her only asset. No longer able to seduce men into blind submission, Ramona returns humbly to the estate to an unexpected welcome - and revenge.
Contraportada
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.

Condición: Near Fine. Ramona Drottoveo is a haughty, unsightly albino woman whose sole asset is h er intoxicating and magical aroma. She works as a chambermaid at a luxuriou s Italian country estate where men desire her and she readily satiates thei r lust. In an act of defiance, she marries the one man who resisted her, th e quiet beekeeper. But when he catches her with another man on their weddin g day, he kills himself. When the beekeeper's body disappears and strange e vents befall the estate, the townspeople blame Ramona and her lover. Exiled , they end up in Naples, where Ramona continues to use her sexually charged aroma to get what she wants. However, when she conceives and has a child, Ramona's smell vanishes. Without money, a lover, or her spellbinding scent, Ramona humbly returns to the country estate with her daughter in tow to a surprising response and her ultimate fate. Following La Cucina (2000), Prio r once again explores the power of the senses in a lush and bawdy tale of s ex, desire, and the certainty of retribution. Nº de ref. del artículo: RWARE0000011926
