Don Giovanni was once the wealthiest and handsomest young man in Messina. Then a tidal wave changed everything. When a well-dressed stranger offers him a magical purse, he knows he shouldn''t take it. Only the devil would offer a deal like this, and only a fool would accept.

Don Giovanni is no fool, but he is desperate. He takes the bet: he will not bathe for 3 years, 3 months, and 3 days. Beauty is a small price to pay for worldly wealth, isn''t it? Unless he loses the wager-and with it his soul.

Set against the stunning backdrop of ancient Sicily, Donna Jo Napoli''s new novel is a powerful tale about discovering what truly matters most.
