✦ Synopsis


Set in the Greek community of Mile End, A Foreign Country traces the lives of the narrator's parents, from their childhoods in war-torn Athens to their tragic ends in contemporary Montreal. It's also the narrator's coming of age story, and - ultimately - a meditation on the vulnerability of western secular beliefs to the powers of nationalism and the pull of history. Richler with a touch of Houellebecq, and a fatalism eternally Greek.
