Book summaryNick Urfe, a young British schoolteacher, travels to the Greek island of Phraxos for a vacation. There he manages to wander into a series of misadventures and confusions that bring the stability of his world into doubt. A careless flirtation with another tourist leads to a messy affair, and a chance introduction brings him under the influence of an enigmatic, elderly recluse who stands at the center of an oddly sinister cult. Media reviews"The combination of fantasy and seriousness will probably repel some readers who might accept one element without the other. I believe there will be many more who will surrender a measure of common sense to enjoy an extraordinary literary feat." |
