4.0 out of 5 stars Peak into the lives of Greek American "Immigrants" PRIDE, September 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Spanning a Century: A Greek-American Odyssey (Hardcover)

I've written the other review of this book. I have since purchased the book, and was to have received it from the author, as she was autographing it for me. However, I have the sad news to report that Ann has passed away recently. She became very ill and was hospitalized, and then quietly passed away. I was so sorry to hear that as I never did get the opportunity to meet her (although we spoke several times on the phone). But, this is still a really interesting book and if you are interested in learning about GREEK PRIDE, it is a wonderful read about her and her family and about how Greek people behave in this wonderful new country they adopt. So, please read and enjoy, as Ann used to sit in Greek Orthodox Churches at bazaars and sign her books for the parish members to read and share in her joy! Kathryn in Astoria, NY

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Memoir of a Greek American family, August 16, 1999

This review is from: Spanning a Century: A Greek-American Odyssey (Hardcover)

This was a book given to me by someone who knows the author and they all reside in my little city of Astoria, NY. I too, a Greek American (although much younger than the author) have had similar experiences of growing up in America as a Greek AMerican. I found these stories very interesting and could totally empathize with many of her feelings of what it is like to grow up as a Greek American. However, I did miss a great deal of the "immigrant" experience, but as a Greek, we do share our pride in our heritage which can be seen throughout this well-written memoir.
