Plaskovitis Spyros: The facade lady of Corfu

In his brilliantly constructed novel, Spiros Plaskovitis counterpoints his enigmatic heroine-Anghelina Dassiou-against the touristic "Development" (or Destruction?) of most Greek islands today.Anghelina, although forced by circumstances to work as a sales-lady in a deluxe tourist Hotel, still personifies nostalgia for the traditional couler locale of Corfu-particularly the old Venetian Town.
