\u2018Reminds me of The Durrells\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Peter has written a lovely account of his life in Greece in this easy reading book. It\u2019s full of hilarious tales and I really didn\u2019t want it to finish. If he could write sequels, and perhaps prequels, I think they would make a wonderful television series, especially for those of us who are missing The Durrell\u2019s\u2019.

\u2018If you’ve spent any time in Greece, you will laugh out loud. Wonderful beach read\u2019!

\u2018I was in a beautiful country with a wonderful person bedside me\u2019 \u2013 a Greek initiation!’<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBritish born author Peter Barber presents a thoroughly entertaining memoir of his life as an Anglo man married to a Greek woman \u2013 a story that outdistances the ongoing cinematic exploration of \u201cMy Big Fat Greek Wedding\u2019 because of the excellent combination of fact with humor\u201d.

‘A great read.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018What a wonderful piece of travel writing! \u2018A Parthenon on Our Roof\u2019 is a non-fiction book that gives you insight on real Greek living from the point of view of a Brit, and it is the perfect escapist read for those who enjoy comedic anecdotes based on real life\u2019.

‘Laugh out loud, fabulous book.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Oh my, this book is an absolute delight. I listened on Audible and the Greek music either end of a chapter was perfect. Peter has a lovely way with words, you were transported into the many stories, and I could smell the heady aromas, see the goings on. I love fiery Alex and her family and look forward to more instalments. I thoroughly recommend it to grecophiles and anyone else who enjoys a thoroughly good read\u2019.

‘A fun enjoyable read.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018The book is well written, with the words flowing smoothly. The writer is very good at painting the picture with emotion but also a good dose of humour. I wasn\u2019t too sure what to make of this when I first started reading but it was a fun witty enjoyable read\u2019.

‘Takes you right into Greece!’<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Right from the beginning of this book, you’re brought into the midst of a Greek family … quirks and all. A really delightful read and you’ll come out of it feeling as if you’ve been in both the heart and the craziness of Greece\u2019.
