White Vespa
Autor Kevin Odermanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2012
An American expatriate hopes to quell his grief for a long lost son in the stillness of his photographs of the Dodecanese Islands. But soon friendship and then love for a woman wounded in her own family-born grief propels him toward life again, where stillness is set into motion and identity might be recovered, against odds, in a foreign place.
"Oderman has a knack for keeping things moving and bringing the vibrant colors of the island to life."

Recenzii
"White Vespa takes the reader on a journey of the senses: the smells and tastes of the Greek isles; the thrumming heat; the languid stroll of life; the sometimes painful stabs of memory when all you want to do is forget."
—Jeff Talarigo, author of The Pearl Diver
