4.0
I really enjoyed this. I an beating myself for not listening to Melissa 12+ years ago and reading it ASAP. Instead, I let itlanguish on my shelves, almost gave it away, and finally decided to pick it up.
This multi-generational saga starts in Greece at the beginning of the 20th century. It follows Lefty and Desdemona and their family, as told through the eyes of their grandchild, Calliope. You've got the fabulous Greek culture, you've got early 20th century immigrant experience, the auto boom, Works War II. It's all contained in these pages and they are so worth reading.
