Book
A room in Athens / Frances Karlen Santamaria.
First published in 1970, A Room in Athens is the remarkable journey of a free-spirited. young American woman abroad in Greece with her writer husband in 1964. Inspired by the sixties' vogue for the exuberant land of Zorba and Lawrence Durrell, they seek an Aegean idyll- but their plans threaten to go awry when she learns she is pregnant. Settling in Athens, she gives birth to a boy at the country's only natural childbirth clinic, an underground refuge ruled by a mysterious Madame Kladaki. Afterward, alone with her infant in Athens, she records the challenges and joys of a new mother in a strange land with a captivating mixture of humour, introspection, and candor.
