HARLOT'S SAUCE

I would like to recommend an excellent book to you. It is by Patricia Volonakis Davis and it is called HARLOT'S SAUCE; A Memoir of Food, Family, Love, Loss and Greece. I couldn't put it down. It is Patricia's story of idolizing Greece as a child, and then falling in love with a handsome Greek. However she finds out he is a macho man with an impossible family. It is remarkable the humor she portrays in the difficulties that she endures with this husband and his relatives. When he claims he can only be happy in Greece, she moves there with him and their son. It is in Greece that she developes her self-confidence and builds a sucessful career. She realizes that she can never be a fully devloped human under her husband's domination and leaves him to go onto a better life. This book is beautifully written and a rare gem.
