Daily Frappe catches up with Eleni Gage.
bit about the book and her experiences living in America but with strong ties ties back "home." Be sure to check ourDailyFrappe "5 minutes with" interview!
Eleni is part of a rich fabric of "hyphenated Greeks" around the world thatfind themselves crossing borders, straddling traditions, andultimately, going on journey's to find out more about themselves andwhere they come from. Eleni's family history is quite heart wrenchingbut she always manages to find a way to stay positive --eloquently stating thather heart is perhaps "a heart more open, for having been split in two."
Best of luck Eleni!
