EXCELLENT, April 27, 2000
This review is from: Seventh Garment (Paperback)
Eugenia Fakinou is extremely gifted. In her "The 7th garment" but also in all her other books she has captured things that are impossible to describe and narrate. Having read both the Greek and the English versions, i have to say that they create a totally different impression, and perhaps the translation should be revisited, although i do not know if the English text creates the same 'images' in the minds of English-speaking readers as the Greek text creates in the minds of the Greeks. The strongest idea of the book is the relationship with the seeds from the homeland, that were carried in tight pockets of the Seventh Garment. It does describe the expatriated people's "life" itself. It should be definitely reprinted.
