Evangelos Darley Comes to Dinner is an intimate and warm-hearted portrayal of three elderly friends and a thoughtful exploration of desire and ageing. Evangelos has always loved the inscrutable Lydia and been a good friend to her brother Marcus. On a cold December evening they celebrate their friendship with a meal watched over by a Madonna given to Lydia by her friend, and possible lover, Mary. Told in 104 short chapters inspired by Haydn's 104 symphonies this atmospheric novella is a meditation on intimacy and the craft of living. Lois has lost her husband to a stroke. A visit from her son Joshua, and his lover Michael, provokes her to meditate on love and loss during a time of celebration.
