But the couple soon face their biggest challenge yet, as they are pulled into the chaos of the country\u2019s worsening economic crisis \u2212 along with some of the original village characters from Feta \u2212 as Greece faces a disastrous exit from the eurozone.<\/p>\n

This candid and humorous memoir is also the story of the author\u2019s lifelong passion for Greece and its people. Woven into the narrative is Marjory\u2019s back story from another dark time, during the military dictatorship in the 1970s in Athens. It reveals as much about Greece as it does about her own personal journey.\u00a0This edition contains the author’s own photographs of southern Greece and some of the places mentioned in the book.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”75″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css_animation=”appear” link=”https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Homers-Where-Heart-journalists-affair\/dp\/1511896833\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1485406438&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=skopelosnet&linkId=04c49069348c409e403837a792dd1d52″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1484420160976{padding: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_images_carousel images=”392,393,394″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_no”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
