The pace was so slow that it almost put me to sleep, the only thing I liked was the archaeological aspect of the plot

This was quite amazing! Entertaining and educational! I learned a lot about Greece post-world war 2. I learned about Greek politics. Most importantly I discovered the nuances and importance of Ancient Greek artefacts. It made me feel quite apologetic about the looting/ brazen thefts over the years - disappointingly including the British establishment.

The plot and character development was most interesting as the reader was enabled to see a young girl growing up and coping so well with multi-cultural influence during her life!
