The intertwined though often ambivalent lives of these two friends race through much of the twentieth century, from childhoods in England and New England to frontline soldiering in World War II; from living in Greece during its civil war to years in futile US government service; and ultimately into rebellion while seeking new lives in Italy, England, the US and Canada. Most poignant are their abject failures in their ability to love"€"until, in the end, finding its profound reward.

These are fateful, Odyssean stories, and their resolutions evolve from a despairing dream-world into a reality rediscovered. They are written in Cabot's unique prose style, which was acclaimed in his earlier novels, The Joshua Tree and That Sweetest WIne.

The Isle of Kheria received the 2013 Independent Publishers Silver IPPY for Literary Fiction

Industry Reviews

"I loved the intimate voices, the speaking landscapes, the gorgeous, heartbreaking world contained in The Mango Tree. This is a marvelous read to be returned to again and again."

-Nancy Horan, author of Loving Frank

"The Mango Tree is an extraordinary book by an extraordinary man. Fifty years ago, in his debut novel-The Joshua Tree-Robert Cabot gave elegiacal expression to the nascent consciousness of the environmental movement. Now, in his centenary year, the world is waking up to what he was among the first to see - Cabot brings to mind Shelley's dictum-Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world."

-Robert Fuller, physicist, author, social reformer,

citizen diplomat, former president of Oberlin College

"A wonderful novel . . . beautiful, mysterious, touching."

-Jesus Acosta, Emeritus teacher, Alamos, Mexico
