LA CUCINA

This erotic tale of a chef who finds love in and out of the kitchen is seductively read by Lisa Passero, whose subtle use of foreign accents and close attention to emotions make her a perfect partner to Lily Prior's storytelling. When young Rosa Fiore leaves her Sicilian village in disgrace after her lover is murdered in a mafia honor-killing, she immerses herself in work as a librarian at a cooking school in Palermo. After decades pass, a mysterious Englishman enters her library and lights a fire in her stove and her loins. In LA CUCINA, Prior serves an alluring melange of words that will not easily be forgotten.
