A Parthenon on our Roof
Adventures of an Anglo-Greek Marriage
Alexandra, a product of Greek Fire. Born into the cradle of civilization. Weaned on the teachings of ancient Greek philosophers, thrilled by the bravery of Spartans and thousands of years of cultural heritage.
Peter, her future husband, a tea drinking, digestive-dunking product of British society. Working to make a living, no real ambitions or dreams. But then, he fell in love and everything changed.
At times hilarious, always embarrassing, Peter’s story of how he became Greek enough to live with a Greek family includes a near-death experience on a mountain road, eccentric aunts, Greek bureaucracy, melting flip-flops, and the decision to demolish the much-loved family home, replacing it with a five-storey apartment block, complete with a Parthenon on the roof terrace.
What could possibly go wrong?
A LAUGH-OUT-LOUD ROMANTIC COMEDY
The first in the Parthenon series, the book takes us into the heart of Englishman Peter Barber’s adopted Greek family.
Humour, love, beauty, a fiery wife and Greek culture are presented in a hilarious package, the perfect escapist read.
Gold medal winner. The Global Book Awards: Biographical - Travel
“Reminds me of the Durrells.”
“Oh my, this book is an absolute delight.”
“I love fiery Alex and her family!”
