Description

The Village: A Novel of Wartime Crete In the face of overwhelming oppression, a Cretan village finds its people torn apart and brought together in unexpected ways. Against the backdrop of war, a family struggles to hold on to its traditions, while a young soldier discovers a new sense of purpose. Meanwhile, a German paratrooper begins to question the ideology he once held dear. As the lives of these four individuals become increasingly entwined, the horrors of war and its lasting impact on those who experience it are laid bare. This powerful and moving novel explores the human cost of conflict and the enduring power of the human spirit. Set against the dramatic landscape of Crete during World War II, The Village is a gripping and thought-provoking tale of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances.
