על הספר
"Mangoes and Quince tells the story of Miranda, abandoned in Amsterdam by her husband Anton, who disappeared into the South Seas. Marooned, but restlessly inspired, Miranda expresses her passion through cooking. But as the restaurant she builds in Anton's ancestral home grows increasingly popular - and along with it, Miranda - her daughter Diana recedes into a world of longing for her lost father.". "Under the spell of a manipulative anthropologist, Diana sneaks into her father's two locked private rooms and unearths a trove of strange, exotic fetishes. Tucked within one sculpture, Diana finds a note from her father that instigates a quest to discover where he has vanished to, and that will eventually reveal his dangerous obsession."--BOOK JACKET.
