A propos du livre

Revue de presse

An honest view of 'away-from-it-all' life in Greece today, as seen through the refreshingly unblinkered eyes of a very gifted author. An engaging, humour-spiced book that entertains and informs in equal measure. Highly recommended. --Peter Kerr, bestselling author of 'Snowball Oranges'

Marjory McGinn's laconic wit and delightful style brings the herb infused landscape of the Mani to life with a joyous ease... --Harry Bucknall, author of 'In the Dolphin s Wake'

Things Can Only Get Feta is an easy read in the very best sense, but its simplicity belies the deep insight it gives into the complexities of life in Greece and the often misunderstood nature of its people. --Richard Clark, author of the Greek Notebook series

Whether you know Greece or not you will enjoy the adventures of these intrepid travellers and the descriptions of the places they visit. Their various scrapes are recounted with wit and verve and the writing style is extremely accessible. --Gillian Bouras, award-winning Australian author of Aphrodite and the Others

Présentation de l'éditeur

After an Arctic winter, a British recession, and a downturn in the newspaper industry, two journalists and their dog embark on an adventure in the wild and beautiful southern Peloponnese. A perfect plan, except for one thing - Greece is deep in economic crisis. And if fiscal failure can't overturn the couple's escapade in rural Greece, perhaps macabre local customs, a scorpion invasion, zero dog-tolerance, health scares, and touchy expats will. This is a humorous and insightful journey through one of the last unspoilt regions of Greece. It is full of encounters with warm-hearted, often eccentric, Greeks who show that this troubled country still has heroes, if not euros. In a hillside village in the Mani, the locals share their lives, their laughter and their stories and help chart the couple's own passage back to happiness. They even find a place in their hearts for their Greek nemesis - the local pungent goat cheese. Things really can only get feta -
