Dishing the Sauce at Book Revue June 10, 2009

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
=====================
HUNTINGTON, New York – An award-winning memoir by author Patricia Volonakis Davis delivers an honest, insightful and often hilarious look at cross-cultural marriage and the pursuit of ‘Happily Ever After’ in Harlot’s Sauce: A Memoir of Food, Family, Love, Loss, and Greece. A first generation Italian-American, Davis describes the challenges and benefits of growing up as a ‘Something-Hyphen-American’ in Long Island, N.Y. Uninterested in dating ‘Real Americans’ who had neither an accent nor a clue about ethnic foods and Old World superstitions, Davis met and married a Greek man.

This memoir follows their courtship, marriage, move to Greece, and eventual breakup—culminating in a lesson on female empowerment and self-actualization. The title refers to a spicy tomato sauce invented by prostitutes in Naples that could be made quickly, ‘between clients’. Harlot’s Sauce succeeds in presenting a zesty and entertaining take on the important topics of feminism and ethnocentricity.

Ms. Davis will appear at Book Revue on Wednesday, June 10, at 7:00 p.m. where she will read from her memoir, and serve up a complimentary buffet of tasty Greek and Italian treats, including wine, to add to the festivities.
