Graves, the daughter of poet Robert Graves, was born and raised on the island of Majorca after the Spanish Civil War. She remembers her life and its three main influences: the literary and intellectual Victorian English tradition of her family; the Catalan and Mediterranean folkways of her village; and the Catholic and fascist at convent school in the island's capital Palma. When and why, she asks, does multiculturalism become permanent exile from everywhere. The 1999 edition was published by Virago in Britain. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
