The Nifi, meaning the bride in Greek, has become over the course of the last few days, one of my favourite books. It's a true story about an American woman named Linda Fagioli-Katsiotas, who marries a Greek man named Nikos (Nick) and talks about how she tried to fit in in the village of Margariti, Greece. Linda also explains very well the hard life of Nick's mother, Chevi. I am having a lot of trouble trying to review this book, as I love it so much, and as I know the author. She is one of the most amazing and wonderful people I know, full of kindness and generosity, as well as her husband Nick.
As I was in Margariti, I took the opportunity to take pictures of the actual places that Linda describes in her book. Obviously, they have changed since the first time Linda visited.
Also, there is a blog that she created. Visit Linda
Here is the house that Linda and Nick were going to buy, which is now a museum.
This is the taverna that Nick's brother owned, which is now a really good pizza restaurant.
This is the house that Chevi put a cross on so that she could live there.
This place wasn't in the book, but it could've been. It is a matchmaker's house. So if you ever want to get yourself a husband or wife, you go there!
