In "Another Twilight," the author Peter Robinson evokes a vivid landscape that combines natural beauty with a sense of nostalgia. He references the Croccodrillo and hazy cypress trees, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a sketch for the Isle of the Dead. The imagery extends to Villa Igea, where Lawrence completed "Sons and Lovers," encapsulating the essence of a tranquil yet haunting setting infused with wild thyme and olive groves.

The scene is further enriched by the juxtaposition of serene lake reflections and the bustling noise of nearby traffic along the Gardesana. Robinson portrays a blend of stillness and movement, highlighting the contrast between the calming elements of nature and the disruptive sounds of modern life. Through these descriptions, he invites readers to experience both the beauty and complexity of this twilight moment.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
