Product Information

Hislop describes the moves of the dance with a knowing eye, her evocation of its intense dark drama and the close partnership of dancer and guitarist cleverly foreshadowing the central love interest of the book.

At eighteen, Sofia has a freak attack when she learns the story of her origins and leaves Crete for England, marrying and giving birth to Alexis. And, as others have noted, we didn't need the clumsy device of Alexis and Ed in Crete to tell the story of the family afflicted by leprosy over two generations.And, not many people know this, he’s a demon Scottish dancer, who can be found on Burns night in Tunbridge Wells doing a very merry Gay Gordons. Ono što je meni kao uredniku uvek najdraže jeste to da je priča o njoj kružila od usta do usta i da je zaživela na usmenu preporuku. For instance, her mother has told her how her grandmother, who lived with them when she was a child, had grown up in a mental institution run by her father.

THE BOOK THAT GOT ME THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME I read War And Peace by Leo Tolstoy during lockdown, along with my son. Inspired by the writing of poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca, one of Spain’s most celebrated figures, he finds out about the city’s rich Moorish heritage, its rich Romani culture and the tragic part it played in the Spanish Civil War.On the brink of a life-changing decision, Alexis Fielding longs to find out about her mother’s past. Reading key passages from authors whose work has been inspired by the landscape, he gains a unique view of the country that has been captured in some of the most unforgettable writing of the past century. Later on Katerina says the fact that a soldier picked her up and threw her on a boat out of dangerous Smyrna as "the greatest kindness that's ever been shown to me". I couldn't help comparing it to City of Shadows by Ariana Franklin (the late Diana Norman)which begins in Berlin in 1922 and looks at the rise of Nazism from a Jewish and German perspective.
