Innkeeper (Paperback)

Paperback. This intercontinental love story features Tino, born of immigrant Greek parents in blue-collar Lorain, Ohio, and now manager of a major new hotel in Athens, and September, daughter of the U.S. Ambassador to Greece. Tino is driven to excel at his work; his few relationships with women have been perfunctory or mystical. Abandoned as a child by her mother, September has emerged from a vagabond Foreign Service upbringing as her father's polished social hostess and confidante. Indoctrinated to represent America's values, she is hesitant to step from her pedestal into the arms of an intense, persistent suitor. Their story simmers in Greece, Cyprus, and Spain during a turbulent era that embroils the U.S. government in Watergate, the fall of the Greek Colonels, the Yom Kippur War, and the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. Ultimately, Tino wins September. The question is, can he keep her? As the author entangles his characters in authentically-depicted historical events, he pays homage to both the U.S. Foreign Service and the romance of high-end hotels. This item is printed on demand.
