Three women of Greece: Artemis, an ailing matriarch who clings rigidly to the the old ways. Juliet, an Englishwoman contentedly married to a Greek man. And Irene, the Australian wife of Artemis's son, who has to leave her marriage and child, and a culture that will not make room for her. Irene cannot stay in Greece, neither can she properly leave. Wherever she goes a part of her is pulling in the other direction, so that no country can lay claim to her, no place is truly home.
Gillian Bouras has won acclaim as an interpreter of the migrant experience. A Stranger Here — a new departure for her as a writer — seamlessly weaves fact with fiction to widen her view on displacement, while her reflections on life are as astute and poignant and wryly funny as they always have been.
