Book
Pip's life is going nowhere. A twenty-nine-year-old server stuck in a dead-end job at a lobster shack in Melbourne, she discovers her long-absent father has died, leaving her both an orphan and fifty-thousand dollars richer. Pip's new boyfriend Sasha, a dashing young scholar of Balkan fiction, convinces her to spend the money on a house on a Greek island where he might write his research project in peace. A lover of love, Pip complies, and buys a decrepit doer-upper on the one economically distressed, environmentally ravaged island she can afford. But instead of landing on a bohemian island idyll, the couple and their friend Viv -- who is himself seeking refuge from the disaster that his job at a poorly funded left-wing news site has become -- find themselves enmeshed in an environmental struggle with and against members of the local community that brings the mistakes of the past into sharp relief.
