Dinner with Persephone

Dinner with Persephone

by Patricia Storace

  • TRAVEL NARRATIVE
  • 1997
  • PAPER
  • 398 PAGES

An American fluent in Greek, Storace is a wonderfully literate, perceptive guide to the pleasures and complexities of contemporary Greece. She received well-deserved acclaim for this book. Here's a sample sentence by the gifted writer: "We set out on a cold and brilliant late March morning, making our way to the small seaside town of Kardamyli by the usual patchwork method of bus, taxi, legs and patience." This is a book to read and reread, much more than a ho-hum account of travels.  (GRE28, $15.95)
