Description
A house in ruins, an island at war, and a love affair just beginning. In 1936, a young British diplomat and his wife are posted to Athens, but it's the rundown house on a nearby island that becomes their haven. As they try to rebuild the ramshackle home, the wife finds herself drawn to the place and its people, and a new life begins to take shape. But the dark clouds of war are gathering, and the island will become a crucible of violence and bloodshed. For those who call it home, it will be the greatest test they have ever known. This is a story of love, friendship, and survival, set against the vibrant backdrop of ancient Greece. With its vivid descriptions of the sights, sounds, and smells of the real Greece, this novel will transport you to a bygone era.
