A ‘quick read’ despite its size and lots of threads: archaeology and theft, Greek unrest and coup, romance, diverse peoples, ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’. Sometimes it felt as if the author was writing to a plan that must include certain aspects, like the districts of Athens, the gay scene, the confidence of Eton scholars…Sometimes it seemed that one sentence didn’t quite follow the previous one. Certainly a very full and varied novel that I raced through and am glad to have read.
