Damiano's Lute by R.A. MAcAvoy (Bantam $2.75)

I knew it would take a whale of a book to shove 'Tea With the Black Dragon'
out as my book of the year. Well, R.A. MacAvoy came close with 'Damiano',
the story of an Italian witch and his fight against himself and evil. With
the second book in the trilogy, 'Damiano's Lute', she has outdone herself
again. This is a marvelous, wonderful book. Well done, well plotted, very
human characters (even Raphael the angel and Satan are well rounded and
human characters). The only possible negative to this book is that it
should be read after Damiano for its full impact. Of course, Damiano should
be a must read as well. 

It is hard to believe that the first three books published by this person
are THIS good.... Let us hope it bodes well for the future!

Run, don't walk, for this book. Steal if neccessary.
