A startlingly original novel about a young English graduate who takes a position as a teacher at a private school on a small Greek island. Bored and lonely he spends his free hours wandering alone until he meets a wealthy and mysterious neighbour. Soon he finds himself a victim of this man’s increasingly bizarre psychological games and obsessed with a young woman who may or may not be a willing participant in these games.

An elegant, suspenseful book. I loved it and recommend it. Just don't expect to know what's really going on at any stage of the story.
Some men will put on elaborate, expensive, likely illegal masques of questionable Jungian imagery rather than suggest their friend go to therapy.
