The people of Crete have a proud history as a fiercely independent people with a unique and complex culture. There are many books about Crete and its history, but very few of them describe the daily lives of individual Cretans as they are actually lived. Timeless People in a Changing Time is a you-are-there walk through the streets, quays, and countryside. You meet people whose lives are little changed by the modernity and tourist wealth that throngs through every summer. Laced with 96 author-photographed illustrations, the scenes are described and shown with literary grace and accuracy. Crete and its people have never been portrayed as empathetically as in this memoir.
