Praise for A Room in Athens
"A Room in Athens is a beautifully written and deeply moving memoir. Laing's writing is lyrical and evocative, and she brings the city of Athens to life in all its beauty and complexity. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Greece, travel, or the human experience."—The New York Times Book Review
"A Room in Athens is a stunningly beautiful and honest memoir. Laing's writing is both lyrical and incisive, and she perfectly captures the feeling of being lost and alone in a foreign city. But this book is more than just a travelogue; it is also a profound meditation on love, loss, and the power of art. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a moving and thought-provoking read."—The Guardian
