One of the iconic novels by the master of British magical realism, the author of intellectual bestsellers such as “The Tooth Fairy” and “The Smoking of Mac,” “A Storm Is Coming Soon” and “The Truth of Life.”
Mike and Kim Hensons gave up everything in their lives to fulfill a long-standing dream—to live in a dilapidated villa on a tiny Greek island. But why does everything they think of at once come true—snakes, scorpions, and tropical storms? Who is watching them from the ruins of a monastery, remaining absolutely motionless? And isn’t it the ancient saint himself wandering the mountain paths in iron shoes, ruthlessly planting justice wherever he goes?
