This depiction of pastoral Ancient Greece was a perfect light hearted way to indulge in a classical tale. A simple narrative following two beautiful youths as they fall hopelessly and naively in love.
The story is full of soft heart warming descriptions of them as they try to get to grip with their love, and vivid depictions of their rural surroundings.
A lovely quick read, a little too simplistic for a higher score but definitely worth a read.
