Paradise,
By
This review is from: The Last Day of Paradise (Paperback)
Kiki Deni's book is a solid literary work for scholars of the Mediterranean pride-, honor-, shame-, blood-, kinship-, and gender- notions. It locates the "unbearable lightness of being" in soft touches and promises; heavy consciences and losses. The writer's Edenic wanderings are diachronic: it is only at the end we realize that the last day is, indeed, the first day of paradise.

The new My Fat Greek Wedding,
By
This review is from: The Last Day of Paradise (Paperback)
Great parallel plots. A very refreshing, original book about relationships given in a humorous way; highly recommend it. Very theatrical, felt I was watching the 'My Fat Greek wedding' all overagain.

I just can't help it .,
By
This review is from: The Last Day of Paradise (Paperback)
This is a wonderfully polyphonic , flawlessly crafted novel. Robustly written , marvelosly Greek ( with death of innocence as a backdrop ).For me , personally , if after I finished to read a book , I want to read it again - than it's a great one , it is a Literature . It was like this with Markes's "A hundred years of solitude" and 'Love in the time of cholera". It's was like this with Kundera's "Immortality". It is the case with "Last day of Paradise". I like this book , I just can't help it. ruslan khais
