Book Synopsis

In 1973, Judy Scott was intent on traveling to Istanbul, but serendipitously she stumbled onto the incomparable Greek island of Hydra and the people who would continue, over many subsequent visits, to enhance and influence her life ever after.

This memoir, based on notebooks and journals Scott kept during various times and visits to her favorite place on earth, recounts in very intimate detail her interactions and developing relationships with singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen and his beautiful muse and love of his life Marianne Ihlen.

As Leonard himself observed of this book when Scott sent the manuscript to him for his approval: I particularly admire the detail and honesty of the piece. One of the more unique features in this recounting is the emerging acknowledgment the author confronts of her own sexuality, as she recounts: It did not take long for Leonard to recognize that I was more attracted to Marianne than I was to him, though I came to love him too in the end. <
