Mothers, Sisters & Other Lovers Simone Mondesir

Mother-daughter relationships can be difficult enough, but what if your mother still acts like the 60s wild-child she once was and has affairs with men half her age? When her mother's latest relationship threatens to turn her orderly world upside down, Grace Hamilton sets off to Greece to rescue her. There, she is caught up in a battle between village politics and some very contemporary "goddesses", whilst like the lotus eaters of ancient mythology, a handsome poet almost makes her lose her reason. Seduced by the heat and languor of a Greek summer into shedding her inhibitions, Grace at last discovers the truth about herself as well as about the father she has never known. Shirley Valentine meets k.d. lang!
