Books Worth Reading


Just finished James Chatto's fine novel The Greek For Love.  I'm a big fan of Greek food, bouzouki music, and any story that involves refurbishing ancient houses into liveable space once again.  This novel starts out as pure escapism with a hefty dose of mouth-watering descriptions of food, but moves ever so surreptitiously into something far more moving and at one point downright heartrending. 

Enjoy the read, but be ready with a hanky!

For all her debt woes, Greece is still a place Carina and I dream of visiting one day!  Reading this novel was a good tide-me-over until then.

Check it out!
