Description
"In the 1980s, a young English woman went to Greece as a student and fell in love with the country. In the summer of 2001, married to an expatriate Greek and the mother of two young daughters, she returned for good." "Eurydice Street chronicles the first year of her new life, in pursuit of the contradictory character of Athens and its people, and takes its shape from the seasons and celebrations of the Greek year. Resolutely urban and unsentimental, it is the story of making a home in one of the most visited but least understood European cities. Zinovieff pursues her dream of 'becoming Greek', of belonging officially in spite of the tangle of red tape to be negotiated. She watches her children becoming Greek too, and her husband returning to his roots after half a lifetime away."--Jacket.
