Description

Graham Greene's life was marked by turmoil and transformation, and it is here in Capri that he found a sense of refuge and connection with others. This memoir, written by his friend Shirley Hazzard, offers a unique insight into Greene's character and work.

Through their complex and often tumultuous friendship, which spanned decades, Hazzard sheds light on the extraordinary literary culture that thrived on the island in the 1960s. With remarkable candour, she explores Greene's mercurial nature, his writing, and the conversations that shaped him.

This is a fascinating and deeply personal portrait of one of literature's most intriguing figures, written by someone who knew him intimately.
