Autorenporträt
In Olympia's Dream Milton creates the character of a young girl pulled in different directions by the forces of family love, by ambition and by the wiles of men. The same themes are present here as in the first in the series of The Cypriot's Treasure, that is God, religion, politics, love and vengeance. The location is the Eastern Mediterranean, in particular Greece and Cyprus, and the timeline stretches from the beginning of the second world war to its end. As in The Funked-Up Artist there is the sense that heroic individuals can make epic differences to the trajectory of history and in that sense Olympia is a hero of her time as well as a symbol for the growing consciousness of women in general, emancipating themselves and finding roles that are defined by their own dreams.
