DescriptionA couple arrive in a dead-end coastal village somewhere in South America. The only place to stay is Villa Pacifica, part hotel and part animal sanctuary run by eccentric ex-pats. An ever-present air of sensuality and danger haunts Kapka Kassabova's new novel. Villa Pacifica is an exotic romp through a place where the primal, spiritual and cerebral collide. This is a visceral, gripping story from one of New Zealand's most talented writers. Author descriptionKapka Kassabova, born in Bulgaria, is an internationally published poet and the author of two previous novels, Reconnaissance and Love in the Land of Midas. She also writes for a number of New Zealand and international newspapers, journals and magazines. Kassabova has been short-listed for the Montana New Zealand Book Awards, and is a recipient of the NZ Cathay Pacific Travel Writer of the Year award and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize (Best First Book, South East Asia & South Pacific Region). Her childhood memoir, Street Without a Name, was published in 2008 and short-listed for the Dolman Best Travel Book Award in the UK, and the European Prix du Livre. She lives in Edinburgh, Scotland. |
