I’ve read most of these - I could never get on with Durrell - and second the recommendations

I enjoyed both of these books set in Greece.
“Eleni” by Nicholas Gage, the author’s grandmother’s bravery in 1948 civil war, terror of Communists.
And also...
“Dinner with Persephone” by Patricia Starace, a memoir of her year living in Greece.

I love Greek History, it’s one of my passions. There is a brilliant book by Joan Breton Connelly, called The Parthenon Enigma, which, I’m my opinion, should be in any Greek History lover’s bedside table!
