The White Goddess is a mesmerising tale of sex, lies and divided loyalties. Set between the magic of a bohemian Majorca and the horror of Franco's Madrid, it is a haunting evocation of a lost time and place, dominated by the extraordinary power of Robert Graves, one of the 20th century's greatest writers. When Simon Gough returns to Majorca in 1960, as the paradise of his childhood has been overrun by beatniks and marijuana. Here, he falls for the enchanting Margot Callas, Robert Graves' muse. Simon is soon playing a game with rules he doesn't understand.
