Part anthropology, part biography & almost part guidebook, “ Eurydice Street” brilliantly, light-heartedly & captivatingly tells of author Sofka Zinovieff’s attempts to understand Greece & integrate with its people. Zinovieff had fallen in love with Greece as a student, but little suspected that years later she would return for good to Athens with an expatriate Greek husband & two young daughters. This book is a wonderfully fresh, funny, & inquiring account of her first year as an Athenian. The whole family have to get to grips with their new life & identities: the children start school & tackle a new language, & Sofka`s husb&, Vassilis, comes home after half a lifetime away. Meanwhile, Sofka resolves to get to know her new city & become a Greek citizen, which turns out to be a process of Byzantine complexity. As the months go by, Sofka discovers how memories of Athens` past haunt its present in its music, poetry, & history. She also learns about the difficult art of catching a taxi, the importance of smoking, the unimportance of time-keeping, & how to get your Christmas piglet cooked at the baker`s. ...
