Eleni Gage’s First Novel 'Other Waters' is Feted

The works of father and daughter can now be found in bookstores everywhere. Nick Gage celebrates Eleni Gage's first novel "Other Waters."

NEW YORK – Book parties are becoming a frequent occurrence in the Greek American community. The reception marking the publication of Eleni Gage’s first novel “Other Waters” was the first of two in Manhattan this week. “Other Waters” follows the story of “a young Indian-American doctor, Maya Das, who is caught between two very different worlds – the ostensibly scientific Western culture that guides her everyday life as a medical practitioner, and the faith-based Eastern tradition of her heritage, in which the mystical belief in curses, prayers, gods and goddesses is as real as medical knowledge,” according to a release from St. Martin’s Press.
