Summary
Climbing St. Friday is a poignant, nostalgic look at the 1970s adventures of a young Greek-American girl who is sent by her parents from a small town in the Midwest to Athens, Greece, for a year of college.
Having felt limited by her parent’s desire to keep her within her hyphenated ethnocentric, cloistered world, she experiences the exhilaration of self-discovery. As she spreads her wings in the land that introduced democratic ideals to the world, she does so against the backdrop of a country recently taken over by an oppressive military regime.
An easy-to-listen, novella-length tale, Kouremetis often uses humor and remarkable detail in this coming-of-age odyssey that touchingly demonstrates how a year can change a life.
