A comedic novel by Alex Sotiris George
Sia Yiannopoulou, a 68 year-old interior designer in Athens Greece, is mean, unpleasant and a bit of a bad ass. She has been estranged from her gay son, Alexis, for 6 years, and become overly attached to her pristine new Mercedes S-Class, a final gift from Sia’s late husband, Dimitris. So when her prized possession is stolen, and the car thief demands that Sia perform twelve tasks to get it back, she can’t possibly say no.
