Eleni

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

A story of love, deceit, and betrayal, set in Greece during the civil wars of the late 1940s. Eleni Gatzoyiannis was murdered by Communist partisans in 1948 for refusing to allow her children to be conscripted into their band. Her son Nicholas escaped to America as a result and grew up to become a distinguished journalist. Many years after his mother's death, he returns to Greece to learn how his mother met her fate, and to come to grips with his loss.

'Remarkable... brilliant... unique...
Eleni lives through this book. Her son has done her justice."
