A heady whirlwind experience
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
What a great book.I really enjoyed the way that the characters portrayed many mixed emotions as well as good helpings of sex - so naturally set in the contrasts of muddled New York and the simplistic sexual and erotic freedom of mid-late 20th century Greece and islands. I just couldn't put this book down. Anyone who reads this book should be able to identify themselves with at least one of the characters!
One of his better books

I've read all of Merrick's works and agree that he is the Harold Robbins of gay literature - that is, he's not going to enter the halls of the monuments of world literature, but they are fun and entertaining. This one has a bit more sex than his other works, but presents an interesting look at the life of a gay man and how he got to the point where he is. He has escaped to a Greek island only to fall in love again - he seems to have a way of doing that. If you enjoy a good story with a fair amount of sex thrown in, you will really like this one.
