From back cover:
Austen Kark fell in love with Greece in the '60s, but it wasn't until his retirement from the BBC nearly thirty years later that he was able to fulfill his long-held plan of buying a house there.
After three months' search he and his wife, Nina Bawden, found an almost derelict house in Nauplion, a pretty coastal town in southern Greece. Against everyone's advice they decided to buy it, thus throwing themselves on the mercy of the local plumbers, architects and electricians as well as introducing them to the Byzantine intricacies of Greek bureaucracy.
But Attic in Greece is not just about buying a house (with all the associated joys and traumas - like finding live hand grenades in the roof), it is about one man's love affair with Greece and the Greek people, and the comedy of errors that enabled him to live there. |
