{"product_id":"stone-tom-the-summer-of-my-greek-taverna-9780743247719","title":"The Summer of My Greek Taverna","description":"The story of a man in love with a place, a woman, and a dream.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTom 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSeven 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHer 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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFeaturing 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.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53335503241558,"sku":"9780743247719-V","price":3.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53314904129878,"sku":"9780743247719-G","price":1.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/stone-tom-the-summer-of-my-greek-taverna-9780743247719","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
