Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Gift Giving quality . 248 pages . " Deep into an Italian landscape of Once Upon A Time, Lilly Prior has conjured - yes, conjured, for Nectar is magic - a novel as enchanting as it is enchanted . Cast out of paradise, Ramona Drottoveo, a hilariously unpleasant and deliciously debauched albino, travels the path paved with sin back to her garden of earthly delights . This is no morality tale . Rather, it is intelligent, sexy, sidesplittingly funny, and like nothing else . Nectar is wonderful." - Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of Hester Among the Ruins . Called a ' technicolor fairytale ' . this romp is ribald and sexual and grotesque and often hilariously funny . Lily pulls no punches . and her characters have the feel of an old-fashioned carnival . " Nectar . A Novel of Temptation " . by Lily Prior . published by Ecco, New York 2002 . Hardcover book in Dustjacket. Attractive, clean, unmarked and collectible!. Seller Inventory # 000978
