Summary: "Aphrodite - priest's wife, matriarch, illiterate -has lived in her village in the Peloponnese for eighty-six years. Her struggle and hardship have been echoed by national and international upheavals, by war, dictatorship and famine. In writing the story of her mother-in-law's life, Gillian Bouras recounts her own difficulties as a Western educated woman, coming to terms with a woman so culturally different and domestically powerful."--Cover
