I Married A Greek

About the Book

Patricia F. Mouille is married to Kostas Petras, the third of six sons in a large and tumultuous extended Greek family. An amusing, often embarrassing, almost slapstick collection of short stories, I Married a Greek records the Odyssey of this modern American business woman who spends her summer holidays in Greece with her old world husband and his family. Within these pages you will meet this family, this cast of characters she calls her in-laws. Patricia will make you laugh and cry as her stories unfold like dessert appearing on the table after a full, rich Greek meal. You’ll see this brand new world from Patricia’s eyes, follow her as she tries to mingle with the Greeks and figure out what’s really going on. These are the candid observations taken from this wife’s private journals that reveal, in her often humorous and totally honest depiction, the particular trials and tribulations, the crashing change of culture, the cuisine, the sea and her attempts at understanding and communicating in a world so much different than her own.
