Reviews

Direct, evocative, erotic and tinged with sadness. What more should poetry be?
*Telegraph*

De Bernieres captures with quiet assurance that Cavafy music of resigned, sensual sadness as lovers depart, gods retreat and dynasties collapse
*Independent*

Delightful
*Independent on Sunday*

Love dominates ... we are told the truth about love – even when it is awkward or lacking ... the rum enthusiasm fuelling this collection endears it to the reader
*Guardian*

Today the culture of Greece may be facing a new crisis, but many will welcome de Bernières’s revisiting of the “miracle period"
*The Times*
