Description
On a dark blue midnight in late summer 1971, Alison Cadbury set foot on the soil of Paros, an island in the Aegean Sea. She had been drawn to the island by its vibrant culture and was curious about the people who created such beauty. This book is an ode to the culture and way of life of the village of Naousa, where she lived for five years. Cadbury's observations of Greek village life are based on her close relationships with the villagers, who shared their stories and traditions with her. The result is a rich portrait of rural Greek life, where rituals, music, dancing, and festivals create a sense of community and celebration that is woven into everyday life. Through her writing, Cadbury captures the essence of a bygone era, where tradition and spirituality are deeply intertwined. This book will appeal to anyone interested in learning about the culture and way of life of rural Greece.
