Author talk: The Wine and the Water by Tamar Hodes
free entry - 7pm - instore
It is the 1960s and a group of young writers and artists gather on the Greek island of Hydra - Leonard Cohen is at the start of his career and in love with Marianne, and the island hums with excitement. However, Greece is overtaken by a military junta and the artistic idyll is threatened. In this fictionalised account, Tamar Hodes explores the destructive side of creativity and the price that we pay for our dreams.
Israeli born British author Tamar Hodes blends reality with fiction in this quintessential 1960s flavored novel of art and relationship changes. She has been teaching English in schools, universities and prisons while writing for Radio 4 and others in anthologies including Salt's The Best British Short Stories 2015, The Pigeonhole, Your One Phone Call, the Ofi Press, MIR online and Fictive Dream. She’ll be in the shop to discuss her book!
