That said, because of the level of detail, it almost compels you to read Eleni prior to reading this book. If not, this book does a good (but not great) job of sharing an immigrant boy's story of going from rags to relative riches. It embodies a sense of the overall immigrant experience in the first half of the twentieth century and goes head on into the 1960s. Perhaps more important is that it a Greek immigrant/Greek American's account of growing (up) in the United States.Mr. Gage's story is a classic story of an immigrant boy's transition into the "New World", facing his share of ups and downs. Despite his trials and tribulations he was able to achieve the "American Dream" which transcends class, race and socioeconomic status.Mind you that this book was originally published over twenty years ago; the copy sold is like a college course reader print out. That said, the picture quality in this paperback version as opposed to the original hardcover and original paperbacks are not quite as good (I've since purchased autographed used copies) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful history of what happened in Greece during a civil ... *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2018* A wonderful history of what happened in Greece during a civil war during the 1940s and the heartbreak to this family. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Greek immigrant story *by T***5 on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2014* THis is a wonderful and evocative book about a greek family's immigration to the USA and their life in Massachusetts. If you liked 'My Family's Great Big Fat Greek Wedding", read this, it's the real deal on Greek immigrant life in America. ITs' by Nick Gage, so it's wonderfully written. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/51854707-a-place-for-us-a-greek-immigrant-boys-odyssey-to](https://www.desertcart.us/products/51854707-a-place-for-us-a-greek-immigrant-boys-odyssey-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
