"When Gillian Bouras ... went off to live in a Greek village for a few months in 1980 she never imagined she would still be there ten years later. In [this book], she further explores the upheavals and pleasures of exchanging one home for another. Out of her experience has grown a love of words and the pattersn they make in her life; and despite her nostalgia for Australia, she cannot resist the impact of foreign landscapes and the people that surround her."--Back cover
