Crete

by Barry Unsworth


Review this book!

Veteran novelist Barry Unsworth went with his wife to Crete and writes about the experience--paradoxically bemoaning the huge tourist industry that has invaded the island. He also writes about Cretan history, flora and fauna, mythology, and--not least--its people, both past and present.
