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.
