To Love Like Venus: when New York becomes Greece

Themes, tropes and settings

A beach read for the Greek islands? The book and this reading include the fun and sensuality of it all, but this reading also sets the novel within the culture and concerns of Greece, not at all just a backdrop. Plus I highlight some of the larger themes of the book, which partially takes place in Greece in the near future 2050s and includes modern day concerns of impact of climate change, unsustainable tourism and the risk of unchecked foreign buyouts. While being a book about female love, relationships and boundaries. Plus a shoutout to all the libraries across the world who have brought it to patrons. Nice to record this in an area of Greece strong in family owned businesses. To Love Like Venus is available worldwide. https://januspointpress.com/tolovelikevenus/
