Description
Charmian Clift's Peel Me a Lotus is a vivid account of life in 1950s Greece. In this companion volume to Mermaid Singing, Clift recounts her experiences living on the island of Hydra with her husband George Johnston. The couple's plan was to live simply and focus on their writing, but domestic life proved chaotic as they became part of an informal community of artists and writers. The house they bought on Hydra became a hub for this bohemian circle, which included notable figures such as Leonard Cohen and his girlfriend Marianne Ihlen. Clift's writing captures the sun-drenched rhythms of traditional Greek life, long before mass tourism arrived. This book offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those who lived in Greece during this period. With its original illustrations by Nancy Dignan, this hardback edition is a stunning tribute to Clift's enduring legacy as a travel writer and essayist.
