Greek lessons

From one of the finest writers on the international scene today comes this love letter to human intimacy and connection : the intertwined stories of two fugitive souls - one a woman who has lost the ability to speak and the other her Greek teacher, a man on the edge of losing his sight. As the lonely teacher finds himself drawn to the silent woman, we discover a deeper pain that binds them, rooted in their families, their histories, their pasts.
And as the novel unfolds, their stories begin to touch and their voices to intersect with startling beauty, as they move from darkness to light, and from silence to expression, before merging in a profound sense of unity.
