Inhaltsangabe
Sylvia longs for a baby. After two miscarriages and years of IVF treatment, she is obsessed with finding a cure for her infertility.
On the brink of a nervous breakdown, she abandons her hospital job and buys a derelict cottage on the Greek island of Crete. Here, in the clean air and sparkling sea of the Aegean, she sets about purifying her body, convinced that this will help her conceive.
But hypnotised by the heat and beauty of the island, Sylvia's desire for a baby is gradually eclipsed by a new obsession: to find out more about Martin, the troubled young expatriate builder she hires to help renovate the cottage.
Where does he vanish to each night? Why does he keep his mother's ashes in his red campervan? And why won't he talk about how she died?
Debbie Taylor has written a sensual, disturbing and beautifully-crafted novel: about desire and loss and the healing warmth of the Mediterranean sun.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : Sylvia anhela tener un bebé. Después de dos abortos espontáneos y años de tratamiento de fecundación in vitro, está obsesionada con encontrar una cura para su infertilidad. Al borde de una crisis nerviosa, abandona su trabajo en el hospital y compra una cabaña abandonada en la isla griega de Creta. Aquí, en el aire limpio y el mar brillante del Egeo, se dedica a purificar su cuerpo, convencida de que esto le ayudará a concebir. Pero hipnotizada por el calor y la belleza de la isla, el deseo de Sylvia por un bebé se ve gradualmente eclipsado por una nueva obsesión: averiguar más sobre Martin, el joven y problemático constructor expatriado que contrata para ayudar a renovar la cabaña. ¿A dónde se desvanece cada noche? ¿Por qué guarda las cenizas de su madre en su furgoneta roja? ¿Y por qué no habla de cómo murió? Debbie Taylor ha escrito una novela sensual, inquietante y bellamente elaborada: sobre el deseo y la pérdida y la curación del calor del sol mediterráneo.
