Hi everyone,

I'm starting a new bookring for this quirky novel.  A first novel by
Australian author Andrew Lindsay, described by a critic as "Drips off
the page like honey from a spoon. This is a stunning debut. Few
writers can use language with Lindsay's precision and redolence."

>From the back cover:

Gianni Terremoto is a baker. He is on a quest to bake his way into
history. Gianni's lover's breasts have become the baker's mental mould
for his rolls and sourdoughs and his daughter Francesca is about to
become enshrined as the new local saint, their carnival martyr. In the
year in question Good Friday and April Fool's Day coincide. Gianni,
born an April Fool, decides to bake a hot cross bun the like of which
there's never been. The ensuing hallucinations and food poisoning
derail the entire town. This, then, is the story of the first
Breadmaker's Carnival. When Easter and the Carnival collide, the town
is changed forever.

If you're interested in reading something a bit different and quite
quirky, PM me (Scism) or email me off-list, with your location and
shipping preferences. This one will start in Australia, then venture
overseas.
