With a new introduction by Polly Samson, 'That summer we bought big straw hats.
Maria's had cherries around the rim, Infanta's had forget-me-nots, and
mine had poppies as red as fire. . .'Three Summers is a warm and
tender tale of three sisters growing up in the countryside near Athens
before the Second World War. Living in a ramshackle old house with their
divorced mother are flirtatious, hot-headed Maria, beautiful but
distant Infanta, and dreamy and rebellious Katerina, through whose eyes
the story is mostly observed. Over three summers, the girls share and
keep secrets, fall in and out of love, try to understand the strange
ways of adults and decide what kind of adults they hope to become.
'The sun has disappeared from books these days... You are one of
those who pass it on' Albert Camus to Margarita Liberaki 'A leisurely,
large-hearted coming-of-age novel, earthy and innocent, nostalgic and
beautifully rendered' Kirkus'A dreamy, cinematic tapestry of Greek
village life' NPR
