Description
Greek by Osmosis is a warm, witty memoir chronicling an American woman's decades-long immersion into life on a small Greek island after falling in love with a charming Greek student. From navigating a real estate market with no agents, to building a house via faxes and faith, she discovers a special world without secrets, ruled by Island Time, mysterious bureaucracy, and endearing customs. Along the way, she battles cement-eating ants, goat invasions, and attacks by a murder of crows, while learning to cook Greek foods at her angelic mother-in-law's elbow.
With humor and heart, she captures the joys and frustrations of learning Greek and adapting to island life-where the night sky stuns, hospitality abounds, and even doing the laundry is an adventure. Infused with Greek words, recipes, and mishaps, Greek by Osmosis is a love letter to an island, a marriage, and the beautifully chaotic adventure of becoming part of another culture.
Perfect for readers who enjoy travel memoirs, foodie adventures, Greek culture, expat stories, and heartfelt humor, this book transports you straight to the Aegean-where the night sky dazzles, hospitality abounds, and even doing the laundry becomes an adventure.
