Luckily, the sound of her singing voice captures the attention of a local taverna owner, who suggests she come with him and perform for his customers. Kivelli’s time at the bar is short-lived, but gives way to a recording career and her slow climb up the economic and social ladder of this foreign city. Although life is certainly better for her — no longer the object of an auction at a brothel, no longer a singer in a disreputable taverna — Kivelli misses the magical world of her youth in the great port city of Smyrna.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilde Heart Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44676358406316,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4283\/5372\/files\/IMG_5292.jpg?v=1755481416","url":"https:\/\/wildeheartbooks.ca\/products\/the-goodtime-girl-by-tess-fragoulis","provider":"Wilde Heart Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
