Reviews

Tender, clever and as funny as it gets... a heart-piercing joy. - Lauren Laverne Heartfelt, hilarious and beautifully written, Broken Greek is a childhood memoir like no other - a rapt testament to music's extraordinary power to root you in the world when little else seems to be doing the trick. - Cathy Newman Oh, how I love Pete Paphides and this book. He can't write a paragraph that isn't funny or moving or insightful and often all three at once. For someone from a refugee family, like me, it just reads so true, but it's also a painting of another life so rich, so deep, that they should hang it in the National Gallery. - Daniel Finkelstein, Associate Editor at The Times
