The best book I have read by this point. Even now, I inhale ever so softly as I think about the world inside this book. The beautiful Greek spoken in this book. The beautiful names. Psipsina, Pelagia, Lemoni, and of course-Mandras. Oh Mandras.
I love the fact that Captain Corelli was obsessed with his mandolin and with singing operas. I love the way Pelagia embroidered an extraordinary crooked jacket for Mandras while he was away at war. This book is amazing. Full of history and rich in culture...my two favourite themes in books.
My favourite thing about this book is meeting someone else who has read and loved it...and the bond that is shared through that knowledge.
