There is a moment each morning, roughly twenty minutes before the sun hauls itself above the Aegean, when the world is neither dark nor light. The stars have mostly surrendered. The horizon glows with a colour that has no honest name in English, something between apricot and catastrophe. Fishing boats become visible as silhouettes. Cats, who have been awake for hours doing whatever it is cats do at 4 a.m., pause briefly to acknowledge the change, then resume their inscrutable business.
