REVIEW: Perfume for the Widow

Diego Sieiro (Author), Abraham Carreiro (Illustrator)

A short tale based on The Devil’s Fart, by Alvaro Cunquiero, is Â present in this little 8 page book.

The story begins with a suitor and his friend chewing the fat regarding the Widow Sorian and her potential suitors. Â The art is quite charming, in that it looks like a funny book, with Â caricatures in place of characters.

The story unfortunately, doesn’t hit the same level. In essence, the ploy in play is to wed the Widow for her gold, leading to a mighty effort by Corcubillion to the point I was hoping for a totally different outcome.

The book was ok as a piece of art. Â But as a funny book, I am afraid to say that they creators forgot to bring the funny.
