Book
My Brother Michael
First published 1959
Camilla Haven is alone in Athens when a stranger insists that she has hired a car for Delphi. Acting on impulse, she accepts the unexplained journey and meets Simon Lester, an Englishman searching for the truth about his brother Michael, who died in Greece during the German occupation.
Their investigation reopens memories of resistance, betrayal and hidden wartime loyalties among people who have rebuilt their lives without resolving the past. The classical landscape of Delphi becomes the setting for a modern murder mystery in which post-war tourism sits uneasily beside the surviving wounds of occupation and civil conflict.
