Query: Spoiling the ship

Ms. Storace's writing is vivid, frequently excellent. Her opportunity to spend a significant length of time in Greece is to be envied. Her extensive travels reflect a serious attempt to look at the landscape. The recurring theme of the dream-book is imaginative and very useful in linking an episodic book. Unfortunately, she condescends towards the Greeks, and sees them as dysfunctional -- largely because they aren't American. This imperialist attitude is more common to British writers, and always a little galling. Perhaps taking her lead from Rebecca West, Ms. Storace sees every event, object, or person in relation to herself. For example, it may be true, as she suggests, that every man in Greece lusted after her, but it's extremely improbable and of no interest to the reader. Less of this self-centeredness and more of landscape (which she handles so much better than people) would have made this a classic.
