GRANITE ISLAND PB – DOROTHY CARRINGTON-ROLLI LUCAROTTI

" Get away from here before you re completely bewitched and enslaved… Dorothy Carrington was told, while sitting in a fisherman s cafe at the magically quiet midday hour. But enslaved she was. GRANITE ISLAND, much more than a travel book, grew out of years spent in Corsica and is an incomparably vivid and delightful portrait. For the first time Corsica is brought to light as a vital element in Europe: a highly individualistic island culture whose people have nurtured their love of freedom and political justice, as well as their pride, hospitality and poetry."
