About This Item
St. Martin's Press. New York. 2005. Mustard yellow boards with copper lettering to spine. Fine First Edition (stated) with first printing confirmed with full number line ending in the requisite "1". Unclipped ($23.95) jacket is protected with removable mylar cover. Inscribed by author on half title page. Eight pages of BW photos in mid-section of book. A (questionable) move from NYC to the remote Greek village of Lia where her father (Nicholas) was born and her grandmother murdered. It appears that there may be curse placed by the grandmother on any family member who returns to Greece. Okay, so a journey home story of sorts. 5.75x8.5 tall. 284pg.
