In a delicately crafted series of vignettes that together create the portrait of an unforgettable family, A Crowded Heart follows young Alex as he grows under the shadow of his father, the future Prime Minister. This breathtaking first novel is set against a lusciously wrought Greek landscape, as Alex and his family move through the dangerous world of Byzantine politics and are swept up in the avalanche of revolution, military dictatorship, and ultimately, exile.
With the creativity and perspicacity of a novelist, and the deep insight of personal experience, Nicholas Papandreou has written a sensuous and intimately conveyed novel of the highest order.
