Review: Back on track

After a little dip in the previous book of the series, Ms. Alexi is back on track with the sixth installment in which we follow Theo, the coffee shop's owner, during his tribulations in Athens. The book takes us back to an Athens that has largely disappeared now. The writer must have firsthand experience of that era, for her descriptions are spot on. I thought Theo's self-isolation was a bit overdone. I would have expected someone who misses the village life, to more actively pursue contact with some of the nice people he encounters.Still, it is a lovely book, well worth your time. Looking forward to number seven!
