Description
William Graves' memoir offers a unique perspective on growing up in Majorca, surrounded by the literary legacy of his father, Robert Graves. At just five years old, William was transplanted to the picturesque village of Deya, where he spent his childhood amidst the Englishness of the Graves household and the traditional ways of life of the island's inhabitants.
This fascinating portrait not only explores the complexities of family relationships but also delves into the world of Majorcan culture, which remained remarkably unchanged for centuries. With remarkable insight and sensitivity, William Graves reflects on his experiences, shedding light on both his own identity and that of his famous father.
