Overview: “Do you know the old superstition about children born around the New Year — how they had no souls, so they had to steal the souls of others?”
The village of Melaniki, in the isles of Greece, is breathtaking to look at. And nearly extinct. Around it reverberates a host of mysteries. What panicked a family into leaving behind a lifetime’s possessions by their lonely house near the ravine? What is the secret of the madwoman on the balcony, who daily announces her lunacy to the world? Why should a faded guru hippie inspire the villagers to violent terror?
No one — islanders or “civilised” expatriates — can really guess, or will tell, what the evil is. Only Tamsin, not yet fifteen, knows that her flighty mother and clever, alcoholic stepfather are seeking in vain to live an idyll in their old watchtower high above the Aegean. And only Tamsin suspects how much they should be afraid… Suspense takes hold by full daylight, and fear itself takes shape behind the forms of polite society, in a story whose finely turned wit and mordant social satire are the crux of an astonishing resolution.
