A Stranger Here

Three women of Greece : Artemis, an ailing matriarch who clings rigidly to the old ways, Juliet, an Englishwoman contentedly married to a Greek man, and Irene, the Australian wife of Artemis's son, who has to leave her marriage and child, and a culture that will not make room for her. Irene cannot stay in Greece, neither can she properly leave. Wherever she goes a part of her is pulling in the other direction, so no country can lay claim to her, no place is truly home. Gillian Bouras. seamlessly weaves fact and fiction to widen her view on displacement.
