The Wager
The Wager | Donna Jo Napoli
3 posts | 1 read | 16 to read
Don Giovanni was once the wealthiest and handsomest young man in Messina. Then a tidal wave changed everything. When a well-dressed stranger offers him a magical purse, he knows he shouldn't take it. Only the devil would offer a deal like this, and only a fool would accept. Don Giovanni is no fool, but he is desperate. He takes the bet: he will not bathe for 3 years, 3 months, and 3 days. Beauty is a small price to pay for worldly wealth, isn't it? Unless he loses the wagerand with it his soul. Set against the stunning backdrop of ancient Sicily, Donna Jo Napoli's new novel is a powerful tale about discovering what truly matters most.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

#TBRtemptation post 3! Great cover. A highly rated YA historical fairy tale. Don Giovanni was once the wealthiest & handsomest man in ancient Sicily's Messina. Then a tidal wave changed all that. A well-dressed stranger offers him a deal: don't bathe for 3 years, 3 months, 3 days, and he will be very wealthy again. Will he lose his soul in the process? #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
