I can’t possibly do justice to every woman featured in My Greek Girls. If I tried, I’d need several blog posts. And besides—I want you to buy this book. I want you to hold it in your hands, absorb the richness of its history, and let yourself be inspired by the intimate details...

My Greek Girls is more than a tribute to the past or a celebration of Greek heritage. It's a meditation on identity and the invisible threads that connect us to our roots

My Greek Girls will appeal especially to women readers who have connections to Greece and Cyprus, who may be familiar with these famous names but would love to know more about them and the times in which they lived

Huge thanks to Maria Socratous and @susan.papas for this beautiful publication of an “intimate portrait” of the author’s favourite Greek girls.
