The Nightingale Sings - Mark S. England

Descriere The Nightingale Sings - Mark S. England

\nOn the Greek island of Lesbos, in the seventh century BCE, a young lyric poet hones her craft while navigating the world of love, loss, friendship and sex, after having suffered years of abuse by a member of her father's household. After a series of attempts at a healthy relationship, all the while struggling with the effects of post-traumatic stress and profound grief, she is forced to leave her home for a faraway land across the sea. There she would make a name for herself as an artist that would spread all across the Mediterranean, continuing her search for love and friendship, and trying to raise her only child in a safe and nurturing environment - until her whole world is suddenly upended. \n \nThe Nightingale Sings is an imaginary tale of what might have been in the life of the historical Sappho of Lesbos, whose artistry would lead to her becoming one of the most revered poets of the ancient world, and would still be cherished today - more than two and a half thousand years after her death. \n \nAnd so, the story begins with a simple celebration. \n \nA birthday party for a nine-year-old girl...\n
