A duplicate of lovely short stories by Hislop.

A paperback by Headline Review, 2013, 176 pages.

Synopsis:

"In ten powerful stories, Victoria Hislop takes us through the streets of Athens and into the tree-lined squares of Greek villages. As she evokes their distinct atmosphere, she brings vividly to life a host of unforgettable characters, from a lonesome priest to battling brothers, and from an unwanted stranger to a groom troubled by music and memory.

These bittersweet tales of love and loyalty, of separation and reconciliation, captured in Victoria Hislop's unique voice, will stay with you long after you reach the end."

This was found by Livojärvi. It was embraced by the statue "Posio" as I expected.:)

This short story collection was a quick read. I quite liked it. It is the Greek atmosphere that is intriguing. I have a prejudice that almost all short stories are a bit depressing as I actually have never read happy short stories. But these stories were not all unhappy, thank god for that. :)

I have been to Greece twice. First when I was 15 years old I got to travel to Crete with my aunt's family. It was amazing as I had only once been to Sweden before that.

About ten years ago I took my family to Rhodes. Kids were small and they loved swimming and not so much our trips to historical sites but luckily we did some of those too despite the crazy heat.

For another reader. It was nice to meet you in Haaparanta!

Joika gave me this book in Haaparanta.
