Product Description This is a memoir of the time the author spent on the island of Crete as a young girl. It's a simple story, open and visual and full of the sights, sounds, and smells of the island. The young Simone is naive and full of the foolishness of youth, but the older woman accepts her for what she is. They both take people and life as they come. They're both good-humored and very honest. This is that rare thing: a happy book, the winner of the 1996 Evelyn Richardson Award. About the Author Simone Poirier-Bures is the author of the novel Candyman and the memoir Nicole, an account of the author's childhood experiences in Halifax.
