I'm giving away Swift as Desire by Laura Esquivel
Synopsis:
As the millions of fans of Like Water for Chocolate know, Laura
Esquivel is a romanticist whose novels explore the power of love and the truths
of the human heart. She returns to those themes in Swift as Desire, the
story of a loving and passionate man who has the gift of bringing happiness to
everyone except his own wife.
The hero of this novel is Júbilo Chi, a telegraph operator who is born with the ability to “hear” people’s true feelings and respond to their most intimate, unspoken desires. His life changes forever the day he falls deeply and irrevocably in love with Lucha, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy family. She believes money is necessary to insure happiness, while for Júbilo, who is poor, love and desire are more important than possessions. But their passion for each other enables them to build a happy life together -- until their idyll is shattered by a terrible event that drives them bitterly apart. Only years later, as Júbilo lies dying, is his daughter able to unravel the mystery behind her parents’ long estrangement and bring about a surprising reconciliation.

ReplyDeleteAnything chocolatey and maybe with ice cream. I like getting this thing called a collider at the local ice cream parlor. It's soft vanilla ice cream with cookie crumble pieces and then peanut butter mixed in. So good.
