This book, written entirely in Greek, is an anthology of 156 texts-miniatures that can be used both as a textbook for the teaching and learning of Modern Greek but also as a series of short stories that offer a glimpse into the life of the community of the Hellenic Diaspora in Brooklyn, New York, in the last half century and the first two decades of the 21st century. Narrated from the perspective of a Greek woman who finds refuge in writing, it brims with some splendid cinematic snapshots of landscapes, astute remarks, moral observations and commentary on the society and its evolution in the era of technological advancements. The reader/listener will find a book of an unparalleled sincerity and immediacy.
