 A House in Corfu: A Family's Sojourn in Greece by Emma TennantIn the early 1960's, Emma Tennant's parents spotted a magical bay on the west coast of Corfu and decided to build a house there. The site overlooks the bay and beach where, legend has it, Nausicca rescued the shipwrecked Odysseus. Tennant offers us the delights and frustrations of daily adventures on a Greek Island -- salt water in the well, roads to nowhere, collapsing walls -- with a love that can be kindled only by a place that truly feels like home. "Much more than a good travelogue. Tennant has captured the personalities of the islanders as well as their idyosyncratic customs -- things only a person living in a culture for some time can know." --The Boston Globe Paperback 224 pages - (2/03)
