Hamilton-Patterson, James

Playing with water : passion and solitude on a Philippine island - Mandaluyong Cacho 1999 - xviii, 282 pages ; 22 cm

PLAYING WITH WATER is an account of several seasons spent alone on a Philippine island...It is a place of cool streaming winds and rapturous ultramarine descents, but for Hamilton-Paterson it is much more; from its coral shingle he sees, refracted by time, a childhood spent under sadder skies;...From the far corners of his self-imposed exile, James Hamilton-Peterson is quietly becoming one of England's greatest writers.
