Translated by Christina E. Kramer Gavdos: a remote island south of
Crete, the southernmost point of Europe, surrounded by an endless
expanse of sea. To Oksana, who has come from Ukraine with her
friends to recover from illness in the aftermath of Chernobyl, it
seems like a dream to live in a blue-and-white house with a lemon
tree. To Penelope, a Greek woman who was married off to an
unsuitable man by nuns from the convent where she spent her teenage
years, it is a kind of prison. Their two narratives, interwoven
with other stories - of the other women of the sparse community, of
their own past lives and loves - are skilfully combined with themes
of otherness and the notions of 'foreign' and 'barbaric' in this
poetic and timely short novel by acclaimed Macedonian writer Petar
Andonovski, winner of the European Union Prize for Literature.
