Bokanbefaling \"The Summer of My Greek Taverna\"

[Liv]

Jeg anbefaler varmt denne boka av Tom Stone,som handler om hans tid på Patmos.
(Jeg har ikke klart å finne ut om den foreligger på norsk.)


Personlig så syns jeg denne boka gir et godt bilde av Hellas,folket etc.

Her er litt fra boka,sakset fra Amazon.com:

\"Tom Stone went to Greece one summer to write a novel -- and stayed twenty-two years. On Patmos, he fell in love with Danielle, a beautiful French painter. His novel completed and sold, he decided to stay a little longer.

Seven idyllic years later, they left Patmos for Crete. When a Patmian friend Theológos called and offered him a summer partnership in his beach tavérna, The Beautiful Helen, Stone jumped at the chance -- much to the dismay of his wife, who cautioned him not to forget the old adage about Greeks bearing gifts.

Her warning was well-founded: when back on Patmos, Stone quickly discovered that he was no longer a friend or patron but a competitor. He learned hard lessons about the Greeks\' skill at bargaining and business while reluctantly coming to the realization that Theológos\'s offer of a partnership was indeed a Trojan horse.

Featuring Stone\'s recipes, including his own Chicken Retsina and the ultimate moussaka, The Summer of My Greek Tavérna is as much a love story as it is the grand, humorous, and sometimes bittersweet adventures of an American pursuing his dreams in a foreign land, a modern-day innocent abroad.

About the Author: Tom Stone was a Broadway stage manager and assistant director for ten years before he moved to Greece. He now lives in Santa Monica, California. \"
