Modern perceptions of Classical Greece are almost invariably based on Athens and Sparta, but there are perhaps few areas as consistently undervalued as the island of Rhodes.

Sensul său profund este reprezentat de modul în care omul se poate plasa în istorie pentru a se redescoperi. Îmbinînd realismul cu magicul, ignorînd aspectele (post)moderne ale unei societăţi, scriitoarea reuşeşte să dea romanului său o dimensiune universală.
