Honey From A Weed

The author has for the last 20 years shared her life with a sculptor whose appentite for marble and sedimentary rocks has taken them to Tuscany, Catalonia, Naxos and Apulia. She has written a passionate autobiographical coolbook, Mediterranean through and through and as compelling as a first class novel. 'It is not like any other book written in the past 50 years and its memory will stay forever.' Theodora Fitzgibbon.
