Rhubarb!: Tales of Survival on a Little Greek Island

by David Fagan, Jennifer Kelland Fagan (Editor)

Ever wondered what it would be like to escape civilization to a place with nary a television and barely a phone? In 1983, David Fagan arrived on the Saronic Greek island of Hydra for an hour’s stay, ripped up his return ticket, and marooned himself as a permanent inmate of “the Rock.” Through a series of anecdotes, affectionately termed “rhubarbs,” he paints a vivid portrait of life among quirky expats and lovable locals on a unique island during a bygone era, before the first world and twenty-first century caught up with him. David Fagan is also the author of Never Is Now (2013).
