Set between the magic of a bohemian Majorca and the horror of Franco's Madrid, it is a haunting evocation of a lost time and place, dominated by the extraordinary power of Robert Graves, one of the 20th century's greatest writers.</p> <p>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 parent’s 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 Graves.</p> <p>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.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product-author field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/store/books/author/simon-gough">Simon Gough</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product-pages field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Pages:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">631</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date-published field-type-datetime field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Published:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">August 2012</span></div></div></div> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 23:00:00 +0000 jordison 24 at https://galleybeggar.co.uk https://galleybeggar.co.uk/store/books/white-goddess-encounter#comments
