Eurydice Street: A Place in Athens | 
so-soI read this in anticipation of an upcoming trip to Greece. It‘s a memoir set in Athens around 2004. The author‘s anthropological eye is used wonderfully here to capture her adopted country. I loved learning more about what sets the Greek people apart. It‘s not a frothy read, and focuses frequently on dark things from their history, but I really enjoyed it and felt like I was getting an honest look at the country beyond the tourist borders.
AvidReader25 It got a so-so rating for me, because some parts are very fact heavy, and I think it would only be fascinating to someone who is really hoping to learn about Greek culture. 8mo
