Recensioner i media

“Written with a fine and original humour, with a discreet sense of the innocent happiness of childhood... within the borders of a world that collapses...the theme of the novel is universal.” James Forman, New York Times“Alki Zei's work – addressed to children but also read with great interest by grown-ups – is innovative and avant-garde. Her themes (recent history, social problems -- divorce, drugs -- contemporary problems of bourgeois society – consumerism, transcultural relations) occupy the mind and interest of the child of today. This fact is reaffirmed not only by the frequent reprinting of Alki Zei's books in Greece but also of her many publications, in translation, abroad. Alki Zei has definitely contributed to the renewal of children’s literature thanks to the aesthetic, social and educational value of her work.” Ada Katsiki-Givalou, Professor of Greek and Children’s Literature, University of Athens
