Heading to Greece next week! Any recommendations for novels set in Greece?
I just bought My Map of You by Isabelle Broom for my sister who is vacationing at Zakynthos. I dont know if its any good, but he reviews were good and it takes place on Zakynthos.
Sara Alexi’s Greek village-series is lovely and perfect holiday reading. And Anne Zoroudi’s Greek detective books.
Many years ago I read Corelli’s Mandolin which I believe takes place in Greece or a Greek island. It was a great read.
Oh, I’m so jealous. Have a wonderful time.
Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazanzakis
Omg, not the restaurant! Cant get rid of it!
Traveling with Pomegranates by Sue Monk Kidd. Mother daughter travel log. In 1990 I traveled to Athens, Delphi, Mykonos and Santorini. Best trip so far.
She has a few others- all set somewhere in Greece
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Won Pulitzer. Awsome book.
Read that a while ago, I didn’t remember it being in greece. You’re right–awesome book!
Tasha Alexander’s Lady Emily series is historical fiction with a lot of Greek mythology. Fun reads!
