Set in the small Italian village of Bacheretto, the characters include a haunted priest, a one-legged dancer, an old man attempting to take a portrait of God, a baker who cannot make hot cross buns, and his child about to become the village martyred Madonna. All of them are involved in a frenzy about to overtake the town when Good Friday (Easter) and April Fools' Day (Carnival) happen to occur on the same day. A well-written, fun, and somewhat irreverant read, that had to take place in Italy!
