I'm Greek (my grandfather was George Emmanuel Mylonas) and an attorney and, well this book is number one on the reading lists of a lot of Greek attorneys.
The surprising thing is that much of the book is really about the power of love and the power of faith and friendship; that the opposite of fear is love; the power and strength of women.
Moving, in spite of itself, or perhaps, because of itself.

I love a good power struggle.
Perhaps I'll take a gander at it.
Thanks for the idea, I love good reads.
