ABOUT
THE BOOK

In a village on the island of Corfu, alone in the cottage of a man he’s never met, a young Australian actor gradually pieces together the strange life story of the writer whose house he is living in. As he explores his surroundings and makes new friends in Corfu, his own life begins to appear to him like an illuminating shadow-play of his absent host’s.
