The Water and the Wine by Tamar Hodes
Leonard Cohen is at the start of his career and in love with Marianne Jensen, who is also a muse to her ex-husband, Axel. Australian authors George Johnston and Charmian Clift write, drink and fight. It is a hedonistic time of love, sex and new ideas on the Greek island of Hydra. As the island hums with creativity, Jack and Frieda join the artistic community, hoping to mend their broken marriage. However, Greece is overtaken by a military junta and the artists' idyll is over.
Hodes, Tamar: - Growing up, Tamar Hodes' neighbours were Leonard Cohen, his girlfriend Marianne, and other writers and artists on the Greek island of Hydra (her parents were pursuing their own art and writing there). The Water and the Wine is a fictional account of those bohemian days of the 1960s. Tamar Hodes' first novel Raffy's Shapes was followed by stories on Radio 4 and others in anthologies including Salt's The Best British Short Stories. Tamar was born in Israel and lived in Greece and South Africa before settling in the UK. She read English and Education at Homerton College, Cambridge. For the past thirty-three years she has taught English in schools, universities and prisons.
