From the Correspondence
By summer evening, Santorini softens without ever cooling: the wind still tastes of salt, and the lanes glow with bougainvillea and candlelight. From the cliffside, the Aegean seems less a sea than a mirror for the sun’s final performance. Even the bells sound hushed, as if the island is listening to itself.
