Interesting Exploration of an often untold part of Sydney History
This was a very easy listen (I knocked it out in a day). Being from Sydney I enjoyed the description of Sydney’s inner west and a look into the restaurant scene from before I was born. It also offers a fairly complex look into the Greek diaspora and their (very important) place in Australian 20th century history. Narration was strong without being fantastic.

Overall, a beautiful story, worth a read!
The actors did not do this amazing story any justice. It was difficult engaging with each character at first but my patience paid off once past the half way mark. Definitely worth sticking with it til the end. By the end I felt like I need to go out and read the hard copy as a true reward for listening patiently and calmly through the audio.

Disappointing
Unfortunately the narrators of this book put me off finishing this book. Their American and Greek accents were off putting, the delivery and pace was erratic, which gave the feeling of the story line being out of sequence and difficult to follow. Perhaps reading the book would be better, but I don't recommend listening to it.
