While her mother-whose beauty and sexual prowess both frighten and fascinate Elizabeth-moves into a hotel to pursue a string of lovers, her father, a historian, loses himself in a world of chess and toy soldiers. Elizabeth's imagination, primed by an explicit edition of The Arabian Nights, leads her to fantasies about her father's friend, a gentle, older man named Ramses Ragab, a perfume maker who visits their house regularly to play games of war and who opens her up to the mystery of hieroglyphics and the art of exotic scents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRikki Ducornet is the author of two short-story collections, five books of poetry, and seven novels, including \u003cb\u003eThe Fan-Maker's Inquisition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003cb\u003eThe Jade Cabinet\u003c\/b\u003e.
