Description
Arrested Song by Irena Karafilly is a haunting and sumptuous novel that weaves together the private and historical threads of life in Greece during World War II. Set against the backdrop of invasion and occupation, this epic story follows Calliope, a young schoolmistress recruited to act as liaison officer for the German army. As Calliope's wartime duties bring her into close contact with Lieutenant Lorenz Umbreit, their intimacy begins to blossom in a fishing village seething with dread and suspicion. But how long can their relationship last when Calliope is also an active member of the Greek Resistance? Spanning over three decades, this novel chronicles the extraordinary story of one woman's lifelong struggle against tyranny. With its vivid tapestry of life on the Greek islands during a time of great turmoil, Arrested Song is a powerful and moving portrayal of love, bravery, and survival.
