A very interesting and shrewd portrayal of the modern day Athens with all it's problems of the refugee crisis, economical crisis, neo-nazis, garbage strikes, traffic jams etc. It was a slow read for me without much action, many things happening in the background, often complicated, deeper thoughts that require rereading them. The author's contemplation on double or tripple identities, being an immigrant, refugee, exile, diaspora, re-emigrant was the thing I enjoyed the most about this book.

It’s a very nuanced and nicely-written story, but I tend to like my books more action-packed. Not much happened in the book.
