Description
Eleni Gatzoyiannis was arrested, tortured and shot in 1948. Her crime had been to help her children escape from the Communist guerrillas who occupied their village. Eight years old at the time, Nicholas Gage's mother was one of the 158,000 victims of the Greek Civil War. This book is a son's quest for justice, driven by his obsessive reconstruction of his mother's life and death. Nicholas Gage pursued his mother's killer, determined to understand the circumstances surrounding her tragic fate. A harrowing account of war, loss and personal tragedy, Eleni is a powerful exploration of the human cost of conflict.
