An episode from her first visit resurfaces vividly - her encounter with John, a man struggling to come to terms with the violent death of his nephew. Soon Teresa encounters some of the people she met last time around: Petros, an eccentric mechanic, whose life story may or may not be part of John's; the beautiful Niko, a diving instructor; and Xanthe, a waitress in one of the caf'es on the leafy town square. They talk about their longings, regrets, the passing of time, their sense of who they are.EAN: 9781804271766Package Dimensions: height: 196 mm, length: 127 mm, width: 51 mm Show more
