Set in a picturesque 16th century Tuscan village, Tomato Rhapsody is the story of forbidden love between Davido, a Jewish tomato farmer who is arranged to be married to a woman he detests, and Mari, the Catholic stepdaughter of the town’s evil olive farmer who lusts after Davido’s fertile land.  In this debut novel, Schell delivers a fable rich in literary delights, filled with spectacular wordplay, remarkable characters, and the bawdy humor of Shakespeare’s comedies.

"If only every debut novel arrived with such spirit."  --Craig Wilson, USA Today
