In exchange for somewhere to sleep and to hide out for a few days, he is willing to tell her the whole astonishing tale. What follows is an account of fantastic proportions and ingredients: the existence of a shadowy Internet TV show with a certain morality clause, a threat to the storyteller’s life, a diabolical nun, and the story of a girl with a missing left thumb. The tale is also the precursor to a meeting between the writer and the infernal miracle worker, Lucia—a meeting that ultimately forces the writer to make a fateful decision about her own inner essence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarnality \u003c\/i\u003eis a novel about the universal need for spirituality and truth—not to mention a good story—set in the seemingly unspiritual grimy underbelly of society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                            \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLina Wolff\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Lund, Sweden, and lived for several years in Spain and Italy, where she worked as a translator.
