Hi all,
My mom is going to Crete next year for her summer vacation; she has always been transfixed with Greece, its mythology, its people, everything about it. I have a personal tradition of reading books set in countries when I travel to them, and I'd like to try and get initiated in that tradition by gifting her something she'd like that's set there. Are there any books about / set in Greece or Greek Mythology (she really likes greek mythology) that you think a middle-aged person would appreciate? Bonus points if Crete, but no biggie.
Fiction, non-fiction, it's all good, any suggestion will do 🙂 Just not something too racy (I considered Song of Achilles but although she's an ally I think that'd be a bit too much for her already) or "abstract" (I also thought of Outline by Rachel Cusk), but she'd probably already get confused by its format)
Thank you in advance!
