2 13 y separately published work icon Alexia : A Tale of Two Cultures Antigone Kefala , Sydney : John Ferguson , 1984 Z893940 1984 single work novel young adult

'Alexia is a fictional account, in the fairytale mode, of the experiences of a Greek refugee family who settles in New Zealand in the fifties. The story centres on Alexia, the young heroine whose world is literally turned upside down when she finds herself surrounded by people whose language and culture are totally alien to her. With a mixture of a child naivety and grown-up ironic humour, the story gives the stark ethnic, linguistic and cultural contrasts, which an experience of displacement entails.'
