This short novel takes place 10 years after WW II in Greece. Joanna is taking a month long break from her job and her life with her father in Athens to paint on the island of Santorini. For this trip she hopes to be free of responsibility and of the depressive atmosphere caused by memories of the war and her mother’s death. However, when she steps off the boat she spies a donkey being mistreated and before she knows it she has bought the donkey and named him Ulysses. This beautiful little story proves a changing point for both of them. So well written; a gem.
Simple story.
