This book is a beautiful yet haunting, It describes the trials and tribulations of two childhood friends; Marco and Katerina during a painful period of Greek history.

Great story but very biased.

Greece’s history is unknown to most. I greatly appreciate you sharing the tragic Greek civil war story. I do think it was very biased, atrocities were committed on both sides. There is no mention of the illegal adoptions of Greek children to the US and other countries facilitated by Queen Frederica. It was a nice book and I really liked the narration.

amazing story

I appreciated this story and listened to it 2 times because I felt so close to the characters that I wanted to visit them again! I felt immersed in the culture, experiences, and environment of Corfians. It really enhanced by vacation to Corfu, giving me a much greater appreciation for my own experience on the island of Corfu Greece

Waste of time!

I tried to listen to this but it went nowhere fast! I got to chapter 11 & deleted it! I couldn’t take any more. Very disappointed!
