Enlightening!

Ms. Papanikolas writes in such a way that I learn the facts and comprehend the facts while letting the creative story please me or displease me, as the case may be. As Greek Town and history and happenings occurred all around her while growing up in Utah, Ms. Papanikolas soaked in that history. She makes the facts come to life in her fictional characters and stories regarding the immigration of Greeks to America and to Utah. Ms. Papanikolas has written several fictional stories based on fact and some of those stories are found in `Small Bird, Tell Me.' A reader who has no understanding of the Greek immigration history will surely not enjoy the fictional stories as much as a reader who has tried to learn some background regarding the Greek immigration. My advice would be to read some of Ms. Papanikolas's history and then read 'Small Bird, Tell Me'. The short stories will become more thrilling and enlightening to the reader who has done this.
