From acclaimed Author and Playwright Daniel Damiano (The Woman in the Sun Hat, Day of the Dog) comes this gripping second novel. Set in 1913 France, Edmond de Capitoir is the Chief Executioner - content with a relatively solitary life, aided by his own introverted nature. However, his persona is tested by a developing attraction to a young patisserie clerk in Versailles - an attraction that becomes further challenged by his sudden notoriety. Graphic Nature is a unique character-study deliciously blending gothic, darkly comic, romantic, and social commentary elements with modern parallels, and a stunning follow-up to Damiano's modern shero's journey The Woman in the Sun Hat (2021 Seattle Book Review Recommendartion). ??"Deep and heavy on so many levels, hitting so many strong notes. 'Graphic Nature' tells a compelling story with interesting, believable characters while delivering a nuanced message that's both powerful and important. It also manages to involve the sagacity of life and death, love and loss, the sins of the father, and the indifference of God. You'll want to read it sitting down." - Sunday's Mail "5 STARS - An excellent novel!!! The author takes the reader back in time, over a hundred years; into a darker time. - The author hits on so many social aspects and leaves the reader questioning and understanding everything from loss and grief to life and death. - There is also some comic relief and even a romantic storyline within the book, giving something for any reader to enjoy. - This is a very well written book and very deep, making the reader think and question many aspects of life. It's definitely one of those books you don't want to put down until your done." - The Authors Spot
