In one, the days during which Lucrio and Aqib are together pass one-by-one, as they fall for each other and strive to not be caught by Aqib’s family. Femysade readily goes with the gods, and Aqib and Lucretia are left to go on without her.

Unfortunately, same-sex relationships are strictly forbidden in Aqib’s lands, and he doesn’t want to run away with Lucrio. In Kai Ashante Wilson’s A TASTE OF HONEY, young Aqib, who takes care of the animals in the Prince’s Menagerie, catches the eye of a soldier from a different land–and finally Aqib understands why women have never held his interest. ![]() ![]() Gastronativism: Food, Identity, Politics, by Fabio Parasecoli ![]() Included in the book are insights into the environmental impact of food, as well as information on food fraud, allergies and deceptive labelling.
