Mermaid singing, etc. [An account of the author's first year on the isle of Kalymnos.]

"For Charmian Clift, Greece was the Promised Land. In 1954 she and her husband, George Johnston, abandoned their sophisticated London existence and set off with two typewriters and two small children to start a new life. In 'Mermaid Singing' - written during the first miraculous year of discovery - Charmian Clift records the family's adaptation to the primitive sponge-diving island of Kalymnos. As the months go by, Clift captures the rhythm of the seasons and her family's connection with the island's ancient myths, with its religious practices, and with the everyday life of the islanders."
