The Illegal Gardener par Sara Alexi
great character development. I think I was looking for more of a romance, and was a little disappointed with the friendship but it was a great read.
Was nice enough. Some nice comparisons of small cultural differences that people notice but not at always at a level they're aware of. Things that mark someone as other and make us uncomfortable without knowing why. Not too sappy sweet either for chick lit.
You get a sense of Greece and it's people through the descriptions but it's really a book about running away and finding yourself through unexpected friendships and in unexpected ways.
I liked this coming-of-age in midlife novel. It was an interesting journey with the main character from his life as a 40 year-old unsophisticated barista in his father's coffee bar in a small Greek village, to a slightly older and increasingly cynical bar tender in Athens, then back to the small Greek village after he becomes wiser and realizes what is important in life. I enjoyed the setting--Greece--and the author's ability to create that sense of place. I look forward to reading more in this series.
