Description
A war-scarred young man returns home with his inner life drained by what he has survived, only to find that grief, family, and duty cannot restore what has been broken. As the aftermath of the Asia Minor Catastrophe closes in, his world becomes a testing ground for memory and disillusionment—where love and loyalty are strained by political upheaval and the long shadow of violence. Written with Stratis Myrivilis’s lyrical realism and piercing psychological insight, the novel follows a sensitive protagonist as he confronts the illusions people cling to and the moral costs of rebuilding a life from ruins. At once intimate and historical, it explores themes of trauma, identity, and the haunting beauty—and horror—of human endurance.
