Eleni Gage Livres

L'écriture d'Eleni Gage est profondément éclairée par sa fascination pour les rituels culturels, les traditions et les syncrétismes, une passion suscitée par son éducation biculturelle. Ses récits explorent souvent les complexités de l'identité, de la famille et la recherche d'appartenance, en particulier lorsque les individus naviguent dans l'espace entre différentes cultures. Gage mêle habilement ses explorations littéraires à sa vaste expérience du journalisme, examinant les liens complexes entre les personnes et leur patrie.

In North of Ithaka, Eleni Gage returns to the remote Greek village of Lia, where her father was born and her grandmother murdered, to rebuild the ruins of her namesake's home and come to terms with her family's tragic history. In doing so, she leaves behind a sparkling social life and successful career to continue the tale of a family and a place which her father, Nicholas Gage, made famous over twenty years ago with his international bestseller, Eleni. Along the way she survives humorous misadventures, absorbs fascinating folklore, and comes to understand that memories of the dead can bring new life to the present. Part travel memoir and part family saga, North of Ithaka is, above all, a journey home.
