The White Goddess: An Encounter

When 10-year-old Simon Gough went to Majorca in 1953 he thought he had landed in paradise. Far from the misery of his English boarding school and his parents` divorce, he fell in love – with the tiny village of Deya, with his wild cousin Juan and most of all with his beloved `Grand-Uncle` Robert. When he returned in 1960, paradise had been overrun by beatniks and marijuana – and Simon liked it all the more. But soon he fell for the enchanting Margot Callas, Robert Graves` muse. He found himself entangled in a web of lies and deceit and playing a game whose rules he didn`t understand. The repercussions would haunt him for the rest of his life.
