«North of Ithaka» is Eleni Gage's travel memoir, published by Bantam Books in paperback (344 pages, in English).
Eleni Gage leaves her life in New York to settle in Lia, a village in northern Greece, and rebuild the family home that was the scene of torture during the Greek Civil War. The narrative combines the restoration with village life, its neighbours and the weight of memory, all steeped in the folklore, literature and history of Greece.
First work by Eleni Gage, daughter of journalist Nicholas Gage, whose book 'Eleni' told the story of her mother during the Greek Civil War.
A read for those interested in memoirs, travel and non-fiction, and for anyone wishing to approach the recent history of Greece and its rural world.
