Set in the island of Lesbos this book gives an extraordinary, subtle, and haunting picture of Greek island life, its beauty and its suffering; its vitality and its tragic view of the world. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Immerse yourself in the magic of life on a greek island where the Virgin Mary, to whom the local church is dedicated, takes a mystical interest in the villager's lives and appears to influence Love, death, pain and happiness. This is a story that is reminiscent of the Latin American Magic Realism writers. You can call it a Greek version of that genre. Highly recommended.
