Summary:"The book connects two sites of particular familial significance in Greece, with Metaxas journeying between an olive grove bequeathed to her mother's family in Palairos - where the ancient trees, each named after a woman in the maternal line, have stood sedately for five-hundred years - and Ithaca, the island where her father's family originated, before migrating to Australia on a British steamship in 1901. Drawing upon Metaxas's multiple photographic languages, as well as her father's Super-8 film stills - which he shot on his first and only trip to Greece in the late 1970s, travelling to Ithaca and Palairos with his wife and two daughters in tow - Mnemosyne Grove unfolds amidst an elegiac subtext."---Publisher's website
