Three women of Greece: Artemis, an ailing matriarch who clings rigidly to the old ways; Juliet, an Englishwoman contentedly married to a Greek man; and Irene, the Australian wife of Artemis's son, who has to leave her marriage and child, and a culture that will not make room for her. Irene cannot stay in Greece, nor can she properly leave. Wherever she goes, a part of her is pulling in the other direction so that no country can claim her; no place is truly home. Gillian Bouras seamlessly weaves fact and fiction to widen her view on displacement. (publisher blurb)
