Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

The daughter of a Greek father and a Minnesotan mother, Eleni Gage grew up in Athens, Greece, and Worcester, Massachusetts, and has always been fascinated by cultural rituals, traditions, and syncretisms. That interest led her to study Folklore and Mythology at Harvard University as an undergraduate, and, eventually, to earn an equally practical master's degree, an MFA in Creative Writing, Fiction, from Columbia University. It may have also nudged her to marry the first Nicaraguan she ever met, a coffee trader.

Now the Executive Editor of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine and a freelance writer whose travel articles have appeared on the covers of Travel+Leisure, T, Budget Travel, and Town&Country Travel, Eleni has also contributed to Real Simple, the New York Times, Parade, and The American Scholar, and held staff positions at Allure, Elle, InStyle and People magazines. She is the author of the travel memoir North of Ithaka, which describes the year she spent living in a Greek mountain village overseeing the rebuilding of her grandparents' house, and the novel Other Waters, which details the life of Maya Das, an Indian-American psychiatrist who thinks that her family has been cursed, as she struggles to forge a single identity while torn between two cultures. Her upcoming novel, The Ladies of Managua, follows three generations of women, each with her own secret, as they’re forced to confront their complicated relationships to each other and to their homeland, Nicaragua. Having spent much of the last decade in Greece, Nicaragua, and Miami, Eleni now lives in New York with her husband and their Greekaraguan daughter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous and charming book!

Lucky in Love makes a great gift for brides-to-be and anyone interested in learning about the meaning of wedding rituals around the world. Though my own wedding is a fair distance in the rear view mirror, I was captivated by this book and its collection of auspicious, sometimes quizzical, customs. This book inspires the reader to consider the many symbolic traditions that make weddings so special.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ugly white sticker on back
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2023
Verified Purchase
I bought this book for a wedding shower gift. There was a 1”x 2” white bar code sticker on the back of the book, applied catawampus across the books bar code. I tried to remove it bc it’s ugly and makes the book look like I got it from the bargain bin. I couldn’t get all of the sticker off and it left a residue. Now the book looks used. I’d leave the sticker on if you’d like a book that looks new. Two stars bc the book arrived promptly and was packaged/protected well.

I’ve always been a fan of Eleni Gage’s writing so when I saw her new book on weddings, I knew this would be the perfect gift for a few of my newly engaged friends. The jury is back and my girlfriends love the book! This makes for a creative way to celebrate weddings or engagements with your loved ones. I highly recommend!
