Sirens' Songs is a chronicle of the bumpy acclimatization of a couple of writers to Kalymnos, a small Greek island populated by taciturn sponge fishermen and strong, superstitious women. In its pages, full of unforgettable characters and landscapes of almost miraculous beauty, perplexity in the face of a primitive and patriarchal society coexists with the discovery of a pure, simple and free way of life, prior to the invasion of mass tourism. These memoirs, written from the point of view of a thirty-one-year-old woman who intelligently, humorously and warmly records the intimate details of her daily life and the customs of a world on the verge of extinction, received little attention when published in 1956. Over time, Sirens' Songs has become a classic of travel literature and the autobiographical genre.
