Add a conniving servant and his amoral master; a murderous priest and his equally homicidal sidekick; a beautiful but barren wife wed to an ancient attorney; and a potion brewed from Mandragora, a plant alleged to help women conceive, and you have a prescription for pandemonium, especially when Mandragora (known in less reputable circles as "God's Little Joke"), possesses a Fatal Flaw.Filled with bawdy and irreverent wit, outrageous situations, characters it would be grossly unwise to invite for dinner, and lots of good old-fashioned belly laughs, this literate and sophisticated satire is a joy to read from start to satisfying-and most surprising-finale.Based on The Mandrake, notorious Niccolò Machiavelli's Italian Renaissance comedy, Mandragora is the only novel ever created-even after five centuries!-from his infamous play.

Close friends have compared H.D. Greaves to the legendary Phoenix, the bird that always rises from its own ashes. Born and raised in Port of Spain, Trinidad, and now approaching eighty, he is still actively writing, and helping other writers to achieve success. Unlike a lot of other successful Trinidad and Tobago writers who have chosen to live abroad, H.D. happily remains in his home country where he enjoys the warm Caribbean's waters at Maracas Bay; the culinary delights of roti, bake 'n shark, and doubles; the beautiful samann, poui, flamboyant, and African tulip trees which surround the grassland that is the Queen's Park Savannah, and above all, the warmth and kindness of friends. His ebooks are on Amazon/Kindle, as well as on Amazon's CreateSpace Print-on-Demand for readers who enjoy the feel of "real books" they can hold in their hands. H.D.
