LoveReading Says

This novel is quite simply sublime. The author narrates an ‘auto-bi-fantasy’, detailing his life as he grows up in the orbit of his ‘Grand’-uncle, Robert Graves in Majorca. If you’ve had the pleasure of reading the work of Graves, you will be aware of his ability to transport the reader to any place of his choosing, Gough also has this skill.  The island of Majorca is brought wondrously to life, you are dared not to fall in love with the colour, the heat, the noise, the people, the life of the place. Ten year old Simon on his first visit, absorbs the magic of his ‘Grand’-Uncle, the draw, the utter fascination of the man and vows to return.  Gough describes comedic moments to make you laugh out loud, coming of age love to make your heart ache and divided loyalties enough to make your head spin. A wonderfully compelling novel highlighting the world of a poet, his muse and those who alternately suffer or bask in their glory. ~ Liz Robinson
