Children of War

Fifteen generations of Hassanakis's family have been Cretan. After WW1, amidst rumours that Cretan Muslims will be sent to Turkey, Hassanakis worries he will have to leave behind his great love, the Greek widow Marigo, and his beloved homeland. He can't believe he will be sent to a country whose language he barely knows and where he knows no-one.

Inspirat de jurnalele intime ale unei familii de refugiati, Children of War este un roman evocator care impleteste perfect alura, complexitatea si cicatricile trecutului istoric al Cretei pentru a spune povestea intima a unui om obisnuit prins in vartejul vremurilor extraordinare.
