Summary

When a mischievous underworld meddles with romance, Christopher Moore spins a 328-page tale mixing absurd characters, blunt humor, and unexpected tenderness as modern love collides with mythic chaos.

Why this book now

Moore’s lean toward comic carnage and heartfelt absurdity still reads as a sharp counterpoint to earnest contemporary rom-coms.
