Description
The Great Chimera by M. Karagatsēs is a poignant tale of love, passion and death set against the backdrop of early twentieth-century Greece. Marina's journey from her French upbringing to a new life in the Aegean island of Syros is one of self-discovery and cultural immersion. As she navigates the complexities of her husband's shipping business and her own desires, Marina's world is turned upside down by disaster. This beautifully written novel explores the inner life of its heroine, weaving together lyrical prose with a keenly observed realism. Through Karagatsēs' masterful storytelling, the collisions of different cultures and ways of being are laid bare, revealing a devastating psychological nuance that has captivated audiences in both theatre and television.
