Too Much Information
Sorry, one of the few Bookbrowse books I could not finish. The author used far too many descriptive words, phrase, and adjectives--the story line was lost between subject and verb. I have been to Greece and based on her writings, would not have appreciated the beauty of the country and its people. This book is definitely not for everyone!

A Theater for Dreamers ...
I don't know if I am missing something, but I found this book a struggle to read. I had no idea what was going on, what was happening, etc.
From what I gather, the story is about Erica, who is still dealing with her mom's death, her brother, Bobby, and Jimmy, Erica's boyfriend, who she hopes to marry. After Erica's mom leaves her some money, the three take off for Hydra. Her mom's friend, Charmian, who lives on the island with her husband, George, and their children, takes Erica under her wing. It seems everyone is a writer and has had their books published, or waiting to have them published.
For me, this book was a struggle to read. I just could not follow the story line or the characters. I'm sorry I could not give a more positive review, but this book was way over my head. I will come back to it another time.

Erica's Introspection and Intertwined Memories
First, if I may say, I anticipated reading this book due to the blurbs submitted by authors I respect. Sadly, that was not to be as the prologue was the high point; the following pages did not deliver what I had hoped for. A for vivid imagery of the beautiful island of Hydra where a colony of writers and artists float through days cooking, eating, drinking, having a plethora of sexual encounters. An underlying theme was being tied down vs. spinning out of control and free floating through life. This novel could have been so much better, perhaps with fewer wispy characters.
