About this ebook
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Delicious' Nigella Lawson
'Clever and beguiling' Guardian
'Sublime and immersive' Jojo Moyes
Erica is eighteen and ready for freedom. It's the summer of 1960 when she lands on the sun-baked Greek island of Hydra where she is swept up in a circle of bohemian poets, painters, musicians, writers and artists, living tangled lives. Life on their island paradise is heady, dream-like, a string of seemingly endless summer days. But nothing can last forever.
'A surefire summer hit ... At once a blissful piece of escapism and a powerful meditation on art and sexuality' Observer
'Heady armchair escapism ... An impressionistic, intoxicating rush of sensory experience' Sunday Times
'If summer was suddenly like a novel, it would be like this one. Immaculate' Andrew O'Hagan
