Description
Charmian Clift's Mermaid Singing is a memoir of her life in Greece in the 1950s. In 1951, she and her husband George Johnston left London for the Greek islands, seeking a simpler way of life to focus on their writing. The result was two books that have become beloved by many: Mermaid Singing and its companion volume Peel Me a Lotus. Clift's book paints an evocative picture of traditional island life in the 1950s, before the arrival of mass tourism. She recounts her experiences living on the islands, including the challenges of domestic life and the vibrant community of artists and writers that gathered at their home. This is a fascinating account of a bygone era, full of vivid characters and sun-drenched rhythms. Published in 2021, Mermaid Singing offers a unique glimpse into the life of this Australian writer, who went on to become one of the most celebrated authors of her generation.
