Critics Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“Greek by Osmosis is a delightful and candid memoir that transports the reader to a beautiful island in the Aegean Sea.” - Carol Light, author of Windy City and Southern Secrets
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“This is such a delightful read - a true love letter to a Greek island, combining memoir, food writing, and travelogue with witty insights and humor. If you enjoyed A Year in Provence or Under the Tuscan Sun, you will love Greek by Osmosis.” - Clare Langley-Hawthorne, author of Ursula Marlow Mysteries
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“Greek by Osmosis will appeal to readers who enjoy memoirs rooted in place, stories of cross-cultural marriage, or those who dream of Mediterranean summers. It is both a portrait of an island and of a marriage, told with clarity, warmth, and a keen eye for detail.” - Carol Thompson, Readers’ Favorite
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“An engaging memoir… a love letter to the island and its people. Relatable and relaxing, it shows that home is about love as much as it is about challenges. Detailed and inviting - I felt as if I was sharing in the food, culture, and hospitality of Greece.” - Alissa Deann, Readers’ Favorite
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“I thoroughly enjoyed this book on so many levels… The recipes and stories about food! I felt myself slowing down as I read the book - we don’t have to live the way we do in the U.S.” - Amazon Review, December 5, 2025
