THE PRIEST FAINTED
Catherine Temma Davidson
'The most enchanting book about Greece to have been written since anything by Lawrence Durrell'
Amanda Craig, The Times
'Beautiful. An imaginative retelling of a Greek myth from a woman's point of view sewn into an evocative contemporary narrative... A subtle and lyrical novel'
Kate Mosse
Telling the story of one woman's modern day odyssey through Greece, The Priest Fainted combines irreverent retellings of Greek myth, sexual revelry, and mouthwatering descriptions of traditional food with a quest to discover the links between the past and the present.
