Simon Van Booy, winner of the prestigious Frank O'Connor
International Short Story Award, brings his gift for poetic
dialogue and sumptuous imagery to thisdebut novel of longing and
discovery amidst the ruins of Ancient Greece. Rebecca is young,
lost and beautiful. A gifted artist, she seeks solace and
inspiration in the Mediterranean heat of Athens - trying to
understand who she is and how she can love without fear. George has
come to Athens to learn ancient languages after growing up in New
England boarding schools and Ivy League colleges. He has no close
relationships with anyone and spends his days hunched over books or
in a drunken stupor. And then there is Henry, an accomplished young
Welsh archaeologist who spends his days devotedly uncovering the
city's past as a way to escape his own - a past that holds a secret
that not even his doting parents can talk about. As these three
lost and lonely souls wander the city, a series of chance
encounters sets off events that will forever define them, in this
powerful portrait of friendship and young love.
