The Great Chimera | M. Karagats?s

This little known #classic of #moderngreek #literature from the thirties is a fabulous read. #Love, betrayal, cultural conflict when a young French woman follows her lover, a sea captain to his island home #Syros. The portrayal of the woman draws heavily on #Freud. She is a forerunner to #Durrell's unforgettable #Justine. The lush descriptions also remind me of Durrell. Brilliantly translated. An unusual read
