Clarke It's 1996 and Mother Nature has been on earth for more than 200 years. She and her lover Saint Gubnet, have built Mother Nature International into a corporate giant, with offices in Dublin, London, New York and Balleyvourney, Co. Cork. But problems are at hand: the renegade island of Ascourt is rejecting the Way of the Bees on which Mother Nature's business empire is founded, preferring to live in a land without males; and MNI has a tax bill longer than a phone number. Ruthless in her pursuit of profit and productivity, Mother Nature will stop at nothing -- including murder -- to get her way. But she is prevented by a cast of hilarious and finely drawn character: the princesses Bea, Vee and Min (the BVM); Montague du Pont, Ascourt's hackjournalist; the bridge- playing Old Dames; Banba, the Spirit of Death; Cook; Queen Porschia ... Whisking the reader from western Ireland to New York, from Nobel conferences in Geneva to S/M bars in London -- all via the Underworld -- _The Way of the Bee_ is an extraordinarily original and compelling blend of detective story, satire and fantasy. It is the most exciting first novel to come out of Ireland this year. 1 85594 1 805 L5.99 / $11.99 And from our sister press: ATTIC PRESS 29 Upper Mount Street Dublin 2 IRELAND (3531) 6616 128 FAX: (3531) 6616 176 THE KISS Linda Cullen A sensuous story conveying the passion and the pain, the choices and the dilemmas confronting two young women who fall deeply in love.
