PUBLISHER'S BLURB: 'The Cat of Portovecchio' is about basic Greek sentiments, instincts and passions. The sea and the Greek landscape play an important part in the story. So does an abandoned black and white cat. Every character has a story to tell, and very often their lives intersect. There is passion, lost love, a child missing her mother, a priest with bad intentions, families suffering, but doing the best they can with their lives - and many strong and feisty women. Ten Corfiot recipes are interwoven as part of the story. This vivid picture of life in a Greek fishing village post-World War II is rich in insights into traditions, customs, history, daily life, and local idiosyncrasies.
