"Aphrodite"

A memoir of the Senses



One day when I was overwhelmed with the nostalgia of the days long lost, I found “Aphrodite”.
The stories of this book, which are journeys into the realm of senses, are written with a strong appetite for life, and even if you Dear Reader are not so into cooking you will feel a strong curiosity to try out some of the erotic recipes. The short stories might bring smile on your face, might urge you to share them with others, might awaken unknown yearnings in your soul, and the atmosphere of some might accompany you through times of solitude.

"Aphrodite" by Isabel Allende.London, HarperCollinsPublishers/Flamingo, 1998
