Aunt Rose's Wedding

Exuberant, engaging and wildly funny, Aunt Rose’s Wedding by Kiki Sembos translates Greek tradition to an unsuspecting American populace. The fact is that being an unmarried Greek woman in the 1940s could be a harrowing catwalk between arranged courtships and family ire. For better or worse, the old Greek ways prompt a certain approach to looking at the world that is not what one would call forward-thinking. In this novel, the action and laughs surrounds the search for a suitable husband for starry-eyed Aunt Rose. In fact, Peggy Zakarias’s occupation as chaperone to her aunt will be trying, tedious and boring, but what is she to do? Out of a time where being a young woman meant playing by the rules comes this little lady with pluck and vigor who has her eyes set on finding Rose a knight in shining armor, the man of Rose’s dreams—as long as she herself can escape the bait.
