The secretive, untrusting Amy is intrigued when a 60ish man named Harris claims to have known and adored her mother, who was only 15 when Amy was born on a small Greek film island where she had fled from England. Amy was six film when her mother drowned. Half-buried memories of her childhood rise to the surface with Harris's curiously selective recollections; inforlorn gratitude, and also at Harris's bizarre urging, Amy comes on to Gary, an obese but tender man in his film 20s who lives with Harris. It is Gary, surprisingly, who unlocks Amy's heart, awakening love of several kinds, but also inviting tragedy as events escalate in a relentless but stunning progression. Myerson's perfect control of narrative allows Amy to describe an erotic act in shockingly graphic terms, and in the next breath, to confess her inner desolation with poignant effect.
