My Modern Day Greek Tragedy
By Lana Penrose
To Hellas and Back is a hilariously funny and deeply moving tale of one woman’s journey through love, loneliness and culture shock, set to the tune of screaming bouzoukia, a million blasting car horns and a fast crumbling psyche.
With refreshing honesty, and a hilarious observational style, Lana describes her attempts to adjust to life in her newly adopted country — trying to learn the language, make new friends, cope with her debilitating depression, and preserve her relationship with her partner Dion.
This is a cross-cultural love story with something for everyone — a big fat Greek wedding, an unconvinced mother-in-law, and the best gay pal a girl could ever hope for — all of it set against one of the most alluring backdrops in Europe.
The author will say a few words about her real-life Greek tragedy and will sign copies of her book.
