Sorry mate, won't work any more.
Through the unwavering gaze of a young boy named Alex, Nicholas Papandreou narrates the story of a family uprooted from their home in the United States to live in Greece in pursuit of a father's political ambitions. This breathtaking first novel is set against a sensuously wrought Greek landscape as Alex and his family move through the dangerous world of Byzantine politics and are swept up in an avalanche of revolution, military dictatorship, and ultimately, exile.
“Drawing on the dream-landscape that gave us Zeus and Hera, and also the House of Attreus, Nicholas Papandreou presents us with beautifully understated rites of passage.”
CHRISTOFER HITCHENS
“Honest and insightful, Nicholas Papandreou's elegant prose evokes the splendor of Greece, its people, and the wonder of a boy trying to find his place within it.”
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS
“A captivating portrait of childhood... elegant, colorful prose.”
JEREMY CAPLAN, Boston Book Review
“Powerful, imaginative language...”
CATHERINE TEMMA DAVIDSON, The San Francisco Chronicle
“Greece is irresistible. [Papandreou's] very first paragraph attests to the seduction.”
SUSAN SALTER REYNOLDS, The Los Angeles Times
“Sensuous and sharp... Tom Sawyer goes to Thasos.”
