In 1951 the Australian writers Charmian Clift and George Johnston left grey, post-war London for Greece. Settling first on the tiny island of Kalymnos, then Hydra, their plan was to live simply and focus on their writing The result is Charmian Clift's best known and most loved books, Mermaid Singing and Peel Me a Lotus. Peel Me a Lotus, the companion volume to Mermaid Singing relates their move to Hydra where they bought a house and grappled with the chaos of domestic life whilst becoming the centre of an informal bohemian community of artists and writers. That group included Leonard Cohen, who became their lodger, and his girlfriend Marianne Ihlen. Clift paints an evocative picture of the characters and sun-drenched rhythms of traditional life, long before backpackers and mass tourism descended.

Special Edition Peel Me a Lotus with FREE PDF EDITION!

A lovely companion to Clift’s first book about her family’s sojourn in Greece during the 1950s. It’s part memoir, part character study, part history of the island of Hydra, and a lyrical narrative that captures the spirit and sentiment of this poverty stricken and rugged Greece—not the Greece of postcards or idyllic tourist websites but the Greece of the sponge divers and sailors, the country rebuilding itself after world wars, occupation, and the aftermath of a civil war. The villagers and fellow expatriates come to life in Clift’s emotionally stark and descriptive prose. There is an undercurrent that is bleaker and darker here than in her previous book Mermaid Singing; numerous times passages had an uncanny resonance with the tragic later history of the author.The imagery is lush, the words evocative, the setting fascinating. Once again Clift immerses the reader in the day to day of the Greek island life, no moment too mundane to be documented, but the sum of it all leaving one wistful for a simplicity and a serenity that is more elusive these days. Highly recommended.My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. This is my honest review.
