One Easter a young actor, far from home, rents a house from a writer he`s never heard of called Kester Berwick, & becomes fascinated by the absent Berwick`s rootless, self-invented existence. Gradually, he finds his own life strangely echoing the absent writer`s, as Corfu`s eccentric expatriate community opens up to him. But is travelling a search or an escape?
