As an anthropology student of Margaret Kenna's, studying Greece I felt it my duty to read through this book and I'm glad I did. Many ethnographies are very uninspiring reads, but Kenna's deeply personal work was very engaging and has helped me to learn to love anthropology again.
Using fieldnotes, personal letters and diary entries from her stays on the small Greek Island of Anafi in the 1960's and on a few other occasions on the 1970's and 1980's Kenna describes life on a small Greek island from the view of a young unmarried woman, and at a later period a married woman with a son.
As she was one of the first anthropologists studying Greece it makes essential reading for anyone interested in the topic, among other things Kenna was the first to write extensively about the link between naming and inheritance.
While this book might not appeal to anyone, as an anthropologist, I give it 5/5.
