Among the various national and international distinctions she has obtained for her work, the greatest recognition comes from the readers, who read passionately her books and place them in the top of the best seller lists. But what makes Alki Zei’s work really significant is the impression it evokes out of Greece.

“Από τα μικρά μου χρόνια ως σήμερα, ας μην πω με ακρίβεια πόσα είναι γιατί θα τρομάξω κι εγώ η ίδια, έζησα έναν πόλεμο, δύο εμφύλιους πολέμους, δύο δικτατορίες και δύο προσφυγιές. Δεν τα έζησα σαν απλός παρατηρητής, αλλά παίρνοντας ενεργό μέρος κάθε φορά κι έτσι και να ήθελα δεν θα μπορούσε το συγγραφικό μου έργο να μην επηρεαστεί από τα γεγονότα αυτά που συγκλόνισαν τον τόπο μας.

Alki Zei, Achilles' fiancée
