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 with 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.
A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy
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!"
This book, the first in the Parthenon series, 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.
