American poet Max Parnell has created an idyllic life for his family in a picturesque Peloponnesian village. His adored English wife, Briseis, whose mother is Greek, teaches in a local school. Their eight-year-old twins, Leonidas and Andromache, speak Greek with their many pals. A summer visit from a New York artist friend prompts a bracing plunge into local culture, history, personalities, and scenic wonders. Sandra's desire for a child will provoke a dramatic intervention by her friends. Part Two leaps eight years ahead, as Briseis's devastating illness changes the marriage and all their lives. Mark Sargent's beautiful new novel, bursting with exuberance and poetry, deepens into a fiercely honest, strongly felt portrait of a family's experience of mortality and loss.
Autorenporträt
Mark K Sargent Growing up on Whidbey Island, Washington, Mark Sargent started his career playing computer games professionally in Boulder Colorado. From there he spent the next 20 years training people across the United States in proprietary software. In 2014, he looked into what is no doubt the strangest conspiracy ever, called "Flat Earth Theory", and through extensive research, discovered that it wasn't so laughable after all. In 2015, Mark released a series of YouTube videos and book titled "Flat Earth Clues: the sky's the limit", which delves into the possibility of our human civilization actually being inside a "Truman Show" like enclosed system, and how it's been hidden from the public since 1956. Mark features in the Netflix documentary Behind The Curve (2018).
