Description
Alexandra, a product of Greek Fire. Born into the cradle of civilization. Weaned on the teachings of ancient Greek philosophers, thrilled by the bravery of Spartans and thousands of years of cultural heritage.
I, her future husband, a tea drinking, digestive dunking product of British society. Working to make a living, no real ambitions or dreams. But then, I fell in love and everything changed.
They gave Hercules twelve labours. This must be a Greek thing. Perhaps all potential husbands undergo a death-defying feat to prove them worthy. When we narrowly avoiding a plummet from the top of the mountain into the abyss, I hoped I had passed the first test.
Alexandra considered that if I was going to live here with a Greek family, I had to become Greek.
The book details her quest to transform me from a typical stiff upper lipped Brit into something resembling an Achilles type character with sharpened sword and wits to match. My transformation would sometimes be hilarious, always embarrassing, but would change my outlook on life and open my eyes to the world around me.
