Notă biografică
Margarita Liberaki, translated from the Greek by Karen Van Dyck
Recenzii
The written equivalent of lying in the sun eating figs. I liked it much more than Elena Ferrante's books, but that's the general ballpark, except jollier. As Polly Samson writes in the preface, it brings to mind I Capture the Castle. Gorgeous
A dreamy modernist gem of a novel... elegant and striking
A dreamy, cinematic tapestry of Greek village life
A leisurely, large-hearted coming-of-age novel, earthy and innocent, nostalgic and beautifully rendered
We must be grateful to the Penguin European Writers series, a precious venture in these dark times
The sun has disappeared from books these days... You are one of those who pass it on
Drifting blossom, girlish secrets and lantern-lit dances pervade the 1946 Greek classic Three Summers, by Margarita Liberaki, featuring three sisters on the brink of adulthood on a pre-civil-war country estate at Kifi ssia, outside Athens. Just reissued, this innocent gem is often compared to Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle
With its sensuous prose, nostalgic charm, playful humour and evocation of burgeoning sexuality, this novel is the literary equivalent of a sun-soaked holiday in Greece
