Café Tempest: Adventures on a Small Greek Island A fictional memoir that does for Greece what A Year in Provence did for France. What is it about Greece that makes it so exotic, so romantic, so tantalizing that it's right at the top of everybody s bucket list the one foreign land they're longing to visit? Our dreams are made by Never on Sunday, Zorba the Greek, and just lately My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Mama Mia. Café Tempest: Adventures on a Small Greek Island is a witty, evocative, beautifully written novel that puts you right in the heart of Greek island life. It's so alive with the sights and smells and tastes and characters of Greece that you can pick it up and start your Mediterranean vacation on page one. On a deeper level, the book is filled with the kinds of observations, reflections, and arc of self-discovery that make Eat, Pray, Love so compelling. Welcome to Pharos. Laugh and dance in the hammock not the cradle of Western civilization, says author, lyricist, and theatrical producer Barbara Bonfigli. I've been falling in love with Greece since I was old enough to drink retsina. But if Sarah hadn't captured my imagination you'd never know how I feel about friendship, feta, and the abundance of grace that turns friends into lovers and fishermen into kings.

Café Tempest: Adventures on a Small Greek Island A fictional memoir that does for Greece what A Year in Provence did for France. 
What is it about Greece that makes it so exotic, so romantic, so tantalizing that it s right at the top of everybody s bucket list the one foreign land they're longing to visit? Our dreams are made by Never on Sunday, Zorba the Greek, and just lately My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Mama Mia. 
Café Tempest: Adventures on a Small Greek Island is a witty, evocative, beautifully written novel that puts you right in the heart of Greek island life. It's so alive with the sights and smells and tastes and characters of Greece that you can pick it up and start your Mediterranean vacation on page one. On a deeper level, the book is filled with the kinds of observations, reflections, and arc of self-discovery that make Eat, Pray, Love so compelling. 
Welcome to Pharos. Laugh and dance in the hammock not the cradle of Western civilization, says author, lyricist, and theatrical producer Barbara Bonfigli. I ve been falling in love with Greece since I was old enough to drink retsina. But if Sarah hadn't captured my imagination you'd never know how I feel about friendship, feta, and the abundance of grace that turns friends into lovers and fishermen into kings. 
 Synopsis: When Sarah, a thirty-something American theatrical producer, is asked to direct the locals in their summer show, she picks Shakespeare's play The Tempest. What follows is a hilarious adventure in casting, rehearsing, and consuming. Her neighbors are excited about acting but delirious about eating. Their rehearsals in a deconsecrated church become a feast in four acts. 
Armed with a sizzling wit, a dangerously limited Greek vocabulary, and a pitch-perfect ear for drama, Sarah navigates the major egos and minor storms of a cab driver Caliban, a postmaster Prospero, and a host of fishermen dukes and knaves. 
When she falls in love, there are even trickier seas to navigate. Her own offstage romance provides an exhilarating, unpredictable counterpoint to Shakespeare's story of magic, intrigue, and the power of love.

''Her biography, like her life, is a work of art.'' So says singer/songwriter Janis Ian about Christine Lavin and her book Cold Pizza for Breakfast: A Mem-wha?? In this book, and now audiobook, Lavin recounts her circuitous, often hilarious route to becoming one of contemporary folk music's most respected and beloved songwriters and performers. From Lincoln Center and other New York hot spots to theaters, music halls, and coffeehouses across North America and beyond, life on the road has defined Lavin's life and music. If she lacked a master plan, she had the heart and chutzpah to keep moving and noting carefully what she saw of human nature along the way. It paid off. Her laser-sharp wit and perceptive irony produced a body of song, and now a book, that captures her life and touches our own (foibles included). Christine's 14-hour audiobook also includes a foreword written and read by actor and singer-songwriter Jeff Daniels; two brand-new verses of the classic song ''It Was a Very Good Year,'' sung by its author, Ervin Drake; and a cappella bookmarks performed by The Accidentals. As Christine reads her lively tales, she occasionally picks up her guitar and sings to illustrate a point. Join her on this memorable and fun-filled journey and learn some of the most beloved talents in music, stage and screen. As Dirty Linen magazine puts it: ''Christine Lavin is a storyteller par excellence. She can take the most trivial encounter and spin it into gold, exposing the heart of the matter with humor and grace.''
